Exile

Keith's been in exile for sixteen years. Tonight, he's going home. Keith Murphy's a hitman on the run, making a beeline for the one city where he can't be tracked by magic. He's got his victim's soul trapped in a bullet, a sorcerous partner-in-crime gone AWOL, and one enormous problem: nobody on the Gold Coast will be pleased Keith's coming home. His ex-boss wants to press Keith back into service as an assassin, his ex-girlfriend wants answers after Keith left without a word, and his best friend sold her soul to a demon in Keith's long absence. Plus, there's the necromantic cult desperate to recover the leader's spirit, and the death curse that just might start the apocalypse if Keith can't discover a way to contain the fall-out of a botched job. Fortunately, Keith's guns are loaded and he's got plenty of practice killing the things that go bump in the night. If he holds on, keeps his down, and plays things...
