Jones is called in when someone needs a contract killer. Jones is quick, clinical and good at his trade. Those who hire him never object to the price he demands. Jones arrives in town on the early morning train. His assignment is to take out the boss of Warner-Trans. But when he tries to kill him, the unexpected happens. The boss of Warner is on his guard. He has been tipped off.

What happened? Did the go-between Alexander Scrooge snitch on the contract killing? Is Franketti, the man who gave Jones the assignment, just playing games? Or is Abraham, the big boss who’s way out of Franketti’s league, pulling the strings? Until now, Jones has always been used to flawless work.

Now he finds himself trapped between two gangs. Jane, a beautiful young woman, decides his fate.
