Ian Mallory lives anything but a boring life. He lost his first wife to a bullet that's now stuck in his brain, and when his second wife's step-daughter stabbed a classmate, it was up to him to get rid of the body. This is no secret for the NSA, which has blackmailed Ian into working for them. Thrust into the midst of secret agents, dirty lawyers, mobsters, and former Navy SEALs hell-bent on attacking their homeland, Ian will stay calm, cool, and collected through it all, thanks to that 9mm slug lodged in his brain that short-circuited his emotions.
