Killing Time

by Donald E. Westlake

In a small town in upstate New York, Tim Smith, a local private investigator with a knack for gathering dirt on the town's powerful figures, finds himself in a precarious position. He's friendly with the mayor and city council, but his knowledge of their shady dealings makes him a target. When a shadowy organization descends upon the town, promising a clean slate, fear and paranoia run rampant. Soon, an attempt is made on Smith's life, forcing him to delve into a web of lies and betrayals to uncover the identity of his would-be assassin. As Smith digs deeper, he discovers that his friends, the very people he thought he knew, might be the ones who want him silenced.
