aFor years now Keller's had places to go and people to kill.But enough is enough. Just one more job--paid in advance--and he's going to retire. Waiting in Des Moines for the client's go-ahead, Keller's picking out stamps for his collection at a shop in Urbandale when somebody guns down the charismatic governor of Ohio. Back at his motel, Keller sees the killer's face broadcast on TV. A face he's seen quite often. Every morning. In the mirror.Keller calls his associate Dot in White Plains, but there's no answer. He's stranded halfway across the country, and every cop in America has just seen his picture. His ID and credit cards are no longer good, and he just spent almost all of his cash on the stamps.Now what?

  • "John Paul Keller, 45 ans, passionné de philatélie, est un tueur à gages professionnel. Dans l'Iowa pour exécuter un contrat, il se retrouve accusé sur CNN, du meurtre du gouverneur d'un Etat voisin. Il se réfugie à New York où il retrouve son appartement dévasté. Il apprend bientôt que Dot, commanditaire de ses missions, qu'il croyait morte, serait vivante, en possession de sa fortune.--[Memento]."
  • "A hit man accused of assassinating the governor of Ohio must clear his name and outwit the real killer who's out to gun him down."
  • "When Keller gets the call to make a hit on a man in Des Moines, his reaction is to pass. He's been lucky in his chosen profession, why should he tempt fate? For a pro like Keller, however, quitting isn't that easy. JUST ONE MORE, he thinks. But he finds that this job might not just mark the end of his career - it could be the end of him. After scoping out his intended target, Keller suspects that this is no ordinary hit and his own role in it isn't meant to include a clean getaway. Suddenly safety and his old life in New York seem far away, and Keller will need all of his unusual skills if he's going to make it back."

  • "When he is framed for a high-profile murder that he did not commit, contract hit man John Keller flees for his life and becomes increasingly suspicious about his handler's ominous unresponsiveness."@en

  • "Fingered for a murder he didn't commit, a hit man goes on the run to save his life."
  • "John Keller, who works as a hit man, finds that the man he was hired to kill has been shot by someone else, and he has been implicated in a murder which he actually did not commit."
  • ""When Keller gets the call to make a hit on a man in Des Moines, he's tempted to pass. So far he's been lucky in his chosen profession and he's pretty much got enough stashed away to retire. Just one more, he thinks. But he quickly finds that this job might not just mark the end of his career - it could be the end of him, period. After three days in a Des Moines motel room he realises he was never meant to make the hit - he was just supposed to take the fall when a prominent politician was gunned down by someone else. With all the evidence pointing the cops his way, he's suddenly on the run with literally nowhere to go."--Publisher description."
  • "Keller heeft besloten een punt te zetten achter zijn loopbaan als huurmoordenaar, maar laat zich toch overhalen voor een laatste klusje."
  • "If hit man John Keller had his druthers, he wouldn't have blown his cash to purchase the official Swedish reprints of some stamps that will--truth be told--round out his collection nicely. Still, he couldn't have known that hours later, on the verge of pulling his last job before retirement, his credit cards would be cancelled and his face would be slashed all over the news. It seems that Keller's being set up for a fall, but then he's never been one to go down without a fight."

  • "Keller's a hit man. For years now he's had places to go and people to kill. But enough is enough. He's got money in the bank and just one last job standing between him and retirement. So he carries it out with his usual professionalism, and he heads home, and guess what? One more job. Paid in advance, so what's he going to do? Give the money back? In Des Moines, Keller stalks his designated target and waits for the client to give him the go-ahead. And one fine morning he's picking out stamps for his collection (Sweden 1-5, the official reprints) at a shop in Urbandale when somebody guns down the charismatic governor of Ohio. Back at his motel, Keller's watching TV when they show the killer's face. And there's something all too familiar about that face ... Keller calls his associate, Dot, in White Plains, but there is no answer. He's stranded halfway across the country, every cop in America's just seen his picture, his ID and credit cards are no longer good, and he just spent almost all of his cash on the stamps."@en
