Fun and Games (Charlie Hardie, 1)
<em>The first of three explosive pulp thrillers arriving back-to-back from cult crime fiction sensation and Marvel Comics scribe Duane Swierczynski.</em> <br><br>Charlie Hardie, an ex-cop still reeling from the revenge killing of his former partner's entire family, fears one thing above all else: that he'll suffer the same fate.<br><br>Languishing in self-imposed exile, Hardie has become a glorified house sitter. His latest gig comes replete with an illegally squatting B-movie actress who rants about hit men who specialize in making deaths look like accidents. Unfortunately, it's the real deal. Hardie finds himself squared off against a small army of the most lethal men in the world: The Accident People.<br><br>It's nothing <em>personal</em>-the girl just happens to be the next name on their list. For Hardie, though, it's <em>intensely</em> personal. He's not about to let more innocent people die. Not on his watch.
