Just Retribution - Softcover

Jesse James Kelly wanted to put his past behind him and live a normal life with the woman of his dreams, but a sudden bump in the road gave control of his world to someone else. Martin Gates, a cold, scheming, government agent, steps into his life and offers him a job that he can’t refuse. Refusal would certainly mean his death. He accepts Gates’ offer only to find that acceptance has also dragged Lacey into his dark world. Suddenly he’s standing beside the woman he loves, training her to be like him. From surveillance and strategy, firearms to hand-to-hand combat, he teaches Lacey to kill. Their first assignment takes them inside a jail where they are to arrange the escape of two prisoners. From the jail they hurry to a county hospital where a fierce gun battle erupts outside the emergency room. A run for freedom over back roads leads to more bloodshed and a narrow escape, but their peace is short-lived. Gates wants more and assures them that the next part of their job will be a snap. He sends them to Pennsylvania to find a hidden briefcase filled with top secret documents, but there Jesse finds that he’s been betrayed when he walks into a carefully baited trap. Behind bars and wondering what’s happened to Lacey, he faces an uncertain fate when a detective tells him he knows he’s wanted for murder.
