Product Description When Mark Rippet gets off the plane at LAX, he's excited about returning home to Los Angeles. But positive feelings are shoved aside when he discovers somebody is trying to kill him. The threat may stem from his murky past, for he has no enemies in L.A. At least none of which he's aware.
