The Prodigal Son — Wade Tabor

Jennings Garret is right where he's always wanted to be. He's just graduated with honors from Stanford Business School, landed a coveted job at a Fortune 500 company, and is set to begin the rest of his life when Lascher, a professional hitman taught the art of altitude and distance in the unforgiving jungles of Vietnam, enters his world and changes everything about it forever. Minutes after witnessing his father's assassination, he's on the run, three thousand miles from anyone he's ever known, the police, the FBI, and Lascher burning a scorched-earth trail behind him. His only hope is Paige, the beautiful, bored daughter of a wealthy Charleston family, a woman whose past offers insight into Jennings' own as he tries to stay alive long enough to figure out why everyone wants him dead.
