These rules have kept her from doing any time. They're the rules her mentor and lover taught her, rules he didn't follow as closely as he should've. Now he's up for parole, and Crissa needs to come up with the money to help grease the wheels. Word is that there's an illegal card game set for less than a week from now. The take? Plenty. Desperate, Crissa slaps a plan together, but when one of her crew starts shooting, she catches the attention of Eddie the Saint. A hit man, Eddie is no less of a pro than Crissa, and he could use the work.</p><p>One of the most talented writers working in crime fiction today, Wallace Stroby's <i>Cold Shot to the Heart </i>is a tight, propulsive story that will hold readers captive until well after all the crooks have fled the scene.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Just when you think that you can't be surprised anymore, a writer like Wallace Stroby ups the ante." --<i>Laura Lippman</i></p><p>"<i>Cold Shot to the Heart</i> moves at a breakneck speed. . . .
