Bait

KENNETH ABEL

‘Clever, tough and terrific’—TIME OUT

The day narcotics cop Jack Walsh killed Mafia boss Johnny D'Angelo's son in a drunk-driving accident, he knew his life was over. Thrown in jail and out of the force, release means Walsh is now fair game for a vengeful D'Angelo. As the hit teams begin to circle Walsh's small-town hide-away, the FBI watch and wait.

For them, D'Angelo is the catch they've never quite managed to land.

And Jack Walsh is now the perfect bait.
