"God's Way of Hiding in the Shadows," by Thomas Trang, in The One Percent: Tales of the Super Wealthy and Depraved, edited by Roger Nokes, Rock and a Hard Place Press, 2023.
One of the contributing authors send me a free e-copy of this book.
Bannerman is a hit man but his assignment this time is different: figure out which of several men is the biological father of his client, Luisa Rovayo, a rising superstar in the media business. Sounds pretty simple but as soon as he establishes the DNA connection for Daddy "the security guards tried to kill him with a wire garrotte."
Turns out Rovayo doesn't want anyone knowing about her paternity and she's willing to kill a lot of people to kill her secret.
A nice action tale that made my best-of-the-week list because of its clever ending.
