A mysterious killer who calls himself The Artist is assassinating wealthy lawyers in San Francisco. When war veteran Jake Wolfe accidentally takes his picture during a murder, The Artist adds Jake to his kill list and he becomes a target in a deadly game of cat and mouse that only one of them can survive. How far would you go to protect your loved ones from a killer? Jake wants to leave his top secret, violent past life behind him. But the reluctant, flawed hero can't ignore his duty and his personal moral compass.
This gripping thriller is full of suspense, plot twists and surprises. It features a cast of interesting characters, including several strong-willed women, two wise-cracking San Francisco Police Homicide Inspectors, one highly intelligent dog, and a philosophical killer who shares Jake's admiration for Van Gogh paintings but still plans to kill him anyway. As Jake gets closer to unraveling a merciless conspiracy, his life gets turned upside down and the danger level increases, adding to the growing suspense.

MY REVIEW
Jake Wolfe was
a well-known photojournalist who always put the police in a good light whenever
possible. His best friend was Homicide Detective Terrell Hayes, who knew Jake
well, and understood that it took nothing for trouble to constantly find Jake.
When an
assassin starts killing lawyers, Jake’s resourcefulness in being the first on
the scene, sometimes as it is happening, puts him as the assassin’s next
target. This is nothing new for Jake, who already has two women ready to kill
him. What they don’t know is that Jake is more than just a photojournalist.
He’s a trained killer who formerly worked for the government. Everyone has
underestimated Jake Wolfe, but they’ll find that out soon enough.
This was a long
read, but so worth it. I loved all these characters, especially Jake. Bad boy
was absolutely the correct title for him. I could see how he would be
distracting, with his mysterious background, and good-hearted nature. It was
fun trying to keep up with what he would do next. This story was fast paced,
intriguing, and never a dull moment.
