John Milton has certainly come a long way since leaving his former employer. From being an assassin to beating a drug cartel to cab driver in San Francisco, he has done it all as his cover. That's where we find him at the start of this novel, driving a cab. And since it’s John we’re talking about, things do not stay that way for long. Soon, things start to evolve on their own, drawing John in. As usual, John allows himself to be caught in other people’s problems and tries to solve them.
