The Accident Man. The Most Amazing Novel I have read in a while!

The Accident Man,
He works for the law under the law. Samuel Carver can make any accident happen in the right place at the right time. Exploded gas pipe, car crash, poisoning, heart attack. He can make anything seem like the perfect coincidence. But what happens when the very people who employ you turn on you. "Someone wants you dead carver, and there ain't no stop'in them. so i suggest...."
"that i kill them first."

the most amazing suspense, and genius beyond that of any i have read before, The death of lady Diana has never been as thrilling(and thats an achievement.). As well as all the intrigue and romance to feed a hungry fantasist.

I have the book nd if you are smart you'll come ask me for it.
