Hi. My name is Miriam. Miriam Hayes. Thanks for reading! Essentially, my book started out as a journal that I wrote about my life, my problems and a highly questionable decision that I took; a decision which I hoped would help me overcome the issues I was facing in life, but for a time afterwards threatened to destroy everything I love and all that I'd worked for. My thinking was straightforward. I am a former army sharp shooter with no connections to organised crime. So I figured, if I could get an audience with the head of the local mob, I could offer my services. It would be a one off hit, targeting whoever they desired. I figured I could box clever, keep my anonymity, do his little job and get out clean with a substantial payment for my services. Unfortunately, you guessed it; I didn't get away clean. The mob boss found out who I was, and put one of his pet thugs on me to keep me in line. In order to keep the pressure on me, he threatened my ten year old son with violence and intimidation and my sixteen year old daughter with...well, I'm sure you can guess. In short, instead of a simple solution to my little families woes, I found myself right up a certain creek without a certain paddle. I had to find a way out of a situation that appeared impossible. This book tells my tale and without wishing to give away the farm, it tells you whether I finally managed to get away with it. In any event, its an unusual story I have to tell, so I hope you enjoy it. All my love, Miriam xx
