Frank is in the mob and the organization is connected to the assassination of President Kennedy. He knows too much so he is the next hit and he is on the run. Along the way he sees Charlotte and her two young girls. An Oklahoma housewife who is on the run from an alcoholic husband and a boring life in a small town. Perfect cover for him. Her car has broken down so he picks her up and they travel together to Vegas where he plans to escape the country. But several people are after him. Good story, good suspense, good outcome. I liked the characters even though their emotions didn't run too deep (because male author instead of female author ??). Spoiler: he falls in love with Charlotte and her girls and the normalcy they bring to life, wants her to escape with him, but she wants to forge her own life (she was smart, I liked that) so he knows that the people after him have identified Charlotte and her girls. He is afraid that if he escapes out of the country that they will go after her. So he returns to New Orleans and offers himself up to save her. He dies, she lives a long life. That is it in a nutshell, but very well written with lots of bad guys and suspense along the way.
