"Fat Shelly" Wasserman's daughter was gone. His last message from her was all he had to go on: a photo. One minute, she was a university student in the Big Apple. The next, she was being photographed deep in the West Indies before disappearing from the picture altogether.

Enter Vinnie and Mook, two hitmen with no love for Wasserman - but plenty of love for what they thought was easy money from a hated enemy. From their aptly named Key West fishing outfitters, Too Tough to Tackle, to a centuries-old New World horror, they would not only encounter things tougher than them, but learn that not everything alive you kill stays dead - but may not have been alive in the first place.
