When Buying a Fine Murder
Ronald Raynolds is an art dealer, but it's just a cover up job - he's actually a professional hitman. His new contract has a particular ask: he has to kill himself. The client is Walter Brandi, a rich Italian and powerful real estate magnate with whom Ronald has no connection. Why does that man want him dead? Maybe it's his own wife, Helen, or the digital art he trades, or it's a personal matter he needs to discover. He must take the job - he needs to find out why someone wants to kill him.
