DEVIL MAY CAREBiggo Venn doesn''t want to admit it but he''s getting too old for the mercenary soldier routine. Still, when an old friend comes to him with a small job down in Mexico that''s got an easy $20,000 payoff, he agrees to make the contact. Seems simple enough. But the small town of Ensenada is a lot more treacherous than he bargains for. First there''s Jinny, the deceitful blonde with an itch for his traveling cash; Len Hardesty, a long-time rival and soldier for hire who just happens to appear whenever he''s least wanted; and Pabla, the sweetest vision he can imagine, and possibly the most dangerous. When the bodies start piling up, Biggo knows he''s in for the fight of his life.SINNER TAKE ALLThey want him dead. General Gayoso knows that the only way to assassinate Bruno Lazar is to get the reclusive rebel out in the open. So he has Lazar''s best friend poisoned, and hires Jack Cox, a down-at-heel American sharpshooter, to plan Lazar''s murder at the funeral they know he will attend. The plan is brilliant in its simplicity. But it doesn''t take into account the mixed emotions of Lazar''s protégé, Dorlisa Von Ritter, who precedes him to Tijuana to make sure the way is safe. Nor does it take into account Cox''s fatal sense of conscience. Gayoso is not a man to be thwarted, but even he cannot know what will happen when the assassin and the protégé fall in love.
