From inside flap: Clare Randell was a classy lady, bright, beautiful, sharp-tongued, on the rise in her career and at home in sophisticated San Francisco. Mike Malcheck was an uptight cop, obsessed with a personal vendetta against a deadly professional international assassin who mocked the law for years. Now Clare Randell and Mike Malcheck were forced into each other's company and drawn into each other's arms in a nightmare game that turned them from hunters to hunted. From back cover: Clare Randell looked down at her arm and saw blood. She had not heard the shot. She had barely felt the sting of pain. For a moment she could not believe that a bullet had actually passed through her flesh. Even then she could not bring herself to admit that someone ahd deliberately shot her on a crowded San Francisco street. It would take time and terror for Clare to realize that someone had singled her out for death...someone who had never failed...someone who considered her...FAIR GAME.
