Kill/Off — John F.D. Taff

Would you kill a person if you knew you could get away with it?
When David Benning is blackmailed by a shadowy organization known only as The Group he's thrust into a world of guns, payoffs and killing unknown, seemingly ordinary people. As he becomes more enmeshed, he begins to grasp The Group's true motives, and its secrets--secrets that must never be revealed. David can trust no one... not even the one person he has grown to love.
