Roy is a hit man from New York who is sent to Los Angeles to kill a man. He arrives a few days after L.A. experiences a 8+ earthquake which has wreaked havoc on the city. Roy is able to carry out his assignment, but then gets lost trying to find where he parked his rental car and happens upon a group of gang bangers harassing a jogger. He steps in to attempt to help, and the whole thing is captured on video by a neighbor on his phone. Even though Roy is injured during the altercation, the press and public are lauding him as a hero. His face is splashed all over the news, not the best thing for a hit man trying to keep a low profile. The bangers are after him for making them look foolish, and they aren't the only ones looking to settle the score with Roy. It was a darkly humorous, really fun book. I enjoyed it.
