Old Ed Loren W Christensen

Now, all 5 short stories in one book! You think your job is tough? In these stories, Ed faces a man-eating dog, a mixed martial artist, a killer chimp, a 400-pound pimp, white supremacists, gangbangers, and hitmen out to kill him. All the ladies at the retirement home think Ed is handsome, compassionate, and with charm to spare. They haven't a clue the 76-year-old is a veteran hitman with over 70 kills. Ed doesn't use firearms because he believes there is already too much gun violence. No problem. He knows many other highly-effective ways to do his job. But as much as he denies it, Father Time is diminishing his memory and reflexes. He still does the work, but he's starting to make mistakes, messy ones. Making matters worse, after working alone for over three decades, now he's got a trainee. She's young, beautiful, with good tactics-but inexperienced. What could go wrong? "A riveting read packed with fantastic characters, taut action, and excellent dialogue."
"Funny, moving, and brutal."
"If you've read Loren's Dukkha novels, you know he is a master of dialog, humor, and violence."
"Loren's street and dojo experience shine through!"
"His fiction has the most realistic fight scenes."
