Hit Me

Hit Me! by Alex Brown, is a darkly comic crime thriller that takes the reader on a whirlwind cat and mouse chase from the dark criminal underbelly of Edinburgh to the scenic beauty of the Scottish Highlands - and back.

When ex-boxer Barnabas Wild is told he has terminal cancer and only a month to live, the thought of dying in a hospital bed proves too much. Barney asks childhood friend turned crime boss, Roman Rock, to put a hit on him instead. Roman reluctantly agrees, but when the hospital calls a week later to admit to a shocking mix-up in results, where the hell is Roman to cancel the hit?
