Summary
WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME Toby Wells said he was a legit bounty hunter. Rafferty saw no reason not to believe him. Now Luis Ortega is dead and Rafferty's carrying the gun ... It hurts to admit it, but Toby Wells played Rafferty like a bar-room fiddle. While the cops know Rafferty didn't kill Luis Ortega, that cold comfort won't be enough to prevent him from looking for the sonofabitch who pulled the trigger. Only problem is, he's a little occupied right now trying to get the teenage vandals to lay off Thorney, Honeybutt's recalcitrant great-uncle. Plus, Ortega's past offers no clues as to why someone wanted to cancel his breathing licence and, besides, Wells has disappeared. Just when Rafferty thinks he's getting somewhere, the paint bombs on Thorney's porch escalate to rifle shots. It'd make more sense if Rafferty could just work out who's behind the gun and who they're shooting at. Now he's got to keep Thorney alive, and find the shooter, too. Years ago, Rafferty saved Vivian's life. Can he do it again? CANNON'S MOUTH Max Krandorff is dead and mutilated Rafferty's been left holding the bag And it's full of cash ... It's not your typical day when Rafferty gets mistaken for a hitman. Always the altruist, Rafferty tries to warn the intended victim, only to find he's too late. Rafferty soon discovers that Max's business partner, Carl, is behind the gruesome murder, but damned if anyone knows where Carl is now. And that's when the phone calls start. The killer wants credit for Max's murder and "my money, or else!" Thus begins a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Max's killer knows all about Rafferty: who he is, where he lives and works, and where he and Hilda sleep. On the other hand, Rafferty knows squat about the voice on the other end of the phone. Only that if he doesn't locate Carl and the killer soon, his whole world could go up in flames. FATAL SISTERS Patty Akister wants Rafferty to find her husband, Sherm. He's a secret agent. Sure he is ... Rafferty soon discovers Sherm's just a workaday schmuck earning some extra cash as Manny Hinkston's bagman, and lying to his wife about it. But before Rafferty can convince Sherm of the limited future in a gig like that, Sherm has no future at all. He's been executed inside a Hinkston whorehouse, and Rafferty was there when it all went down. The cops want to throw the book at Rafferty, but he didn't kill Sherm; he was just late to the party. Which quickly becomes standard operating procedure. No matter what he tries, Rafferty's always one step behind. With witnesses being murdered one by one, Rafferty must face the truth: sometimes it's a simple matter of kill or be killed. Rafferty's a Dallas P.I. and an ex-cop who spent enough time on the streets to understand how things work. He may quote Latin occasionally, smoke too much, and be a cynical sonofabitch, but when the shit hits the fan and you need someone you can trust, you'll be glad you called Rafferty
