Listener note: This audiobook follows on from the novel Where Death Meets the Devil and the novella Bargaining with the Devil. It contains the stories When the Devil Drives and At Death's Door.Work-life balance for a spy may be an oxymoron, but Jack Reardon likes a good challenge, and he's almost bested this one! He's settled into his Meta-State promotion as a field leader and into his new team with a second he can trust. Shop in order, Jack can take a day or two off when Ethan blows into town, their bargain finally starting to pay off.Assassin Ethan Blade has few pleasures in his life-a decent cup of tea, a job well done, racing his fleet of supercars, and Jack. With plans to combine the last two into one thrilling weekend, Ethan's attempt at having a normal, happy life may deliver everything he's ever desired; or backfire spectacularly. Jack and Ethan made a bargain, but the deal is thrown into jeopardy when the expectations and identities of the dealmakers shift; stoking the fires of doubt and jealousy. Not to mention a contract killer out for revenge and an illness that threatens to reveal closely guarded secrets.Rewards are on the table for both men, maybe bigger than they even realize, if only they can renegotiate and survive.
