Caleb Lambert kills people for a living. The money is nice, but it comes a distant second to his primary reason for choosing such a vocation: Caleb often calls it "scratching an itch."

Here's the thing, though: Caleb won't just accept any contract. He and his team thoroughly vet each and every prospective mark to make sure they deserve to be punished.

And why not? If anyone knows about true evil in this world, it's Caleb Lambert. Along with his family, Caleb endured hell at the hands of multiple serial killers throughout his childhood, twisting his young mind into the mess it is today. Forever installed that need to "scratch an itch."

And Caleb is frequently itchy, and business is good. But when a new job comes across his desk, Caleb's entire world is turned upside down. The job appears to hold so many similarities to his past that he finds it all but impossible to turn down. An impulsive decision that could cost him dearly.

Author's note: Caleb is a spin-off of the Bad Games series; however it is a stand-alone novel, and it is not necessary to have read the Bad Games series to enjoy.
