Rent Terminal (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard)

Synopsis

After years of carefully working the edges, a blood-commitment forces Burke's return to his former career: 'violence-for-money.'

Claw, once the shot-caller of a white supremacist prison gang is free . . . and terminally ill--he desperately needs a pile of cash to bet on a long-shot cure. He tells Burke about a punk who once purchased protection from him, a man who claims to know the truth behind a 'cold case, ' the unsolved rape-murder of a thirteen-year-old girl. The killers are all weathly men today, ideal blackmail marks. But wealth is power, and the informant needs Claw's protection again. Burke decides to roll the dice. A win would give Burke the two things he lives for: Money and Revenge. A loss would turn 'terminal' from a diagnosis into a certainly, and not just for Claw.
