"Remi Bone is a good guy. He's a hardworking mechanic, a single father raising his late wife's daughter, and now, he's dying of heart failure. But his daughter Kayla was just admitted to the college of her dreams. How will she afford college with two dead parents? Before he dies, Remi decides to stockpile as much money as possible for Kayla's future. When a chance to participate in a lucrative gun-for-hire scheme arises, Remi, out of desperation, agrees to execute a hit on a shady Philadelphia drug dealer. This becomes only the first of several murders Remi is hired for, and soon, Remi's the most sought-after hitman in town--both by his clients and by the police"--Front jacket flap.

Offbeat, decidedly different tale about a middle aged man with a rough history. Remington Bohne (Remi Bone) loves his adopted daughter. His wife Beatrice, Kyla’s mother was his life. When Beatrice died Remi of course went on supporting Kyla, caring for her. Kyla’s father is not in the picture and maybe that’s a blessing. At least Remi thinks it is. Now Kyla’s been accepted into the University of Pennsylvania.
Unfortunately Remi’s just been told he has a heart condition that could see the end of him at anytime. A ticking time bomb!
Remi wants to raise tuition and accommodation expenses for Kyla’s education before he dies. The way he chooses to fund Kyla’s future is as a hit man. That decision presents Remi with many dilemmas, including moral. Things spiral and Remi becomes known as the ‘Tick Tick’ man.
A host of brilliant characters including Catholic priest Father Kane, makes this read a cut above your normal crime fiction noir.
I really enjoyed the various aspects of this rather unexpected novel.
