If you're working as a hit man, most of your "jobs" are pretty simple. You receive a phone call, you learn about your target, and then you take them out. However, if you happen to be Allan or Mackenzie Avery, you get a little creative. Because as far as Mackenzie is concerned, "Just shooting them isn't any fun"....Meet Allan Avery and his homicidal little sister, Mackenzie, better known as Mac. They're professional hit men with unorthodox methods of doing their jobs. They always find interesting ways of taking care of the people they've been hired to kill. For example, if you're an alcoholic, Mac will drown you in a tub filled with beer. The Avery's do their jobs with no problem, until one particular hit finds them in a situation that may be over their heads. Allan and Mac find themselves questioning their line of work, and fighting for their lives. And Allan finds himself reflecting on a former romance with a certain well-known valkyrie named Lola....It's a comedy of sorts. If you like the Valentine series, you'll love Allan & Mac. Learn a little about them here, before you meet them in Valentine 3

After the tragic death of his son, Allan Quatermain’s grief is inconsolable. Feeling that the only possible way to ease his pain is through an expedition, Quatermain seeks out Captain Good, Sir Henry Curtis, and the Zulu chief Umslopogaas, who all previously journeyed with him to King Solomon’s Mine.

Together they set out to expedition through unexplored land, setting out from the East African coast into a territory inhabited by a group called the Maasai. Unfortunately, they are not welcomed into this land. While boarding with a Scottish missionary, Mr. Mackenzie, a man from the Maasai group kidnaps Mr. Mackenzie’s daughter.
