"I knew I would kill him as soon as he walked in..."

Mason Dixon just wants the quiet life.

He's a bartender, and he wants to keep it that way.

But his past as an assassin has caught up with him.

Taking out the "marks" is something he doesn't necessarily enjoy, but he finds it necessary: they're 'schmucks,' guys who shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets free.

Best of all, taking them out helps him pay the mortgage on his bar.

But Mason makes a mistake, and the wrong person is put into danger. He's now forced to try to make things right, even if it costs him everything.

A gritty, edgy, crime thriller set off the tropical South Carolina coast with plenty of humor and a touch of noir, Mark for Blood is a story about a man hell-bent on revenge - and redemption.
