Product Description Wes Hayes killed a man in a bar fight at the age of 22. He went to prison, leaving his young wife, LeAnne, with no money and a child named Sarah to raise. He learned to cut hair in jail, and since his release, he has built a successful salon business. He's tried hard to make amends for his sins of the past, but now, LeAnne's second marriage is in trouble, and she wants Wes to help her fix it. He needs money to keep his business from running off a cliff, and he needs luck to avoid retribution from the brother of the man he killed. He's getting pressure from a loan shark and threats from LeAnne's husband, and just when he thinks he's getting control of the situation, somebody takes a shot at him, and a bomb goes off at his house. From Publishers Weekly In Blue's fourth novel, an unremarkable hard-boiled effort, Wes Hayes, who was imprisoned for a fatal bar fight, has seemingly pulled his life back on track and is now the successful owner of a chain of beauty salons. Then his former wife asks him to derail an affair between her current husband, an abusive cop, and one of Hayes's hairdressers. His attempts to intervene backfire, and a bomb meant to kill Hayes instead claims the life of his beloved teenage daughter. Hayes launches a mission of revenge, focusing on three enemies who may have been behind the murder-the police officer, the brother of the man he killed in the bar fight, and the mobster who's been trying to muscle in on his businesses. Neither the plot nor the characters offer anything new, and the brutal violence will be off-putting to many.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
