“Millie Henshawe—intrepid, smart-talking, gay ex-GI—is the field agent (hired gun) for Continental Removals, LLC, in Boston, a niche firm catering to very special clients. Millie’s well-honed skills are tested when the unexpected happens and the hired gun becomes the target!Written in the style of the noir film, "Get Shorty," "Wrong Man Down" is an explosively funny story with a surprising twist. The plotline and pacing are excellently crafted, creating an unforgettable tale of death and destruction. Filled to the brim with gunplay, explosions, and laugh-out-loud situations, this brilliant novel is a must-read for fans of noir fiction. Professional assassin Millie Henshawe has had better days. Her newest contract demands that she do away with a man at an international airport. Even worse, the client changes the venue at the last minute, placing her in a dangerous position. Inevitably, things head south, forcing Millie to take matters into her own hands, incidentally involving a civilian in the hit. In a bizarre turn of events, her hit's body goes missing, and his identification is found on a distinctively different, unidentified body. The client is complaining that she didn't fulfill her contract and is coming after her. A target is now on her back, and Millie finds herself in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. Can she use her ingenuity and experience to turn the tables?” —Susan Sewell, Readers’ Favorite“Masinton’s whip smart, dynamic heroine, a hired gun, is the driving force behind Wrong Man Down, the first book in the Millie Henshawe series. Gay, self-assured, and with a crackling wit she never hesitates to assert—Millie is an immediate draw for readers. The novel has a compellingly twisty, nicely measured storyline, ultimately delivering a high energy, character-driven work of crime fiction. The prose is top-notch, with succinct, polished descriptions, a balanced approach to exposition, and page-popping dialogue.”"Jerry Masinton’s amazing heroine Millie Henshawe, hired gun and wry observer of the absurd, in complete possession of the intimate knowledge necessary for her deadly work, is the embodiment of a modern ideal—a woman who is disciplined, unimpeded by sentiment or guilt, and fearless. Wrong Man Down with its combination of irony and dark humor is also a great deal of fun.” —Susanna Moore, author of My Old Sweetheart, In the Cut, The Big Girls, and Miss Aluminum
