Owing to the thread about 'The God Delusion' by Dawkins now banging around the Sony 505 Section, I spent my JNYREADS 20% discount buying it and have just started.

Is "Caught Stealing" a prequel to the other Charlie Huston freebie? (I can't remember the name - SORRY! And don't have it on my new 505.) But it was about this burnt out assassin, used to be a baseball hero in high school, became an assassin in order to protect his parents from the mob.
I ask because I started reading "Caught Stealing," and right from the start the violence was non-stop, like in the other book. The other book was very graphic and grisly. So, I deleted it after 25 or 30 pages. Sometimes that much violence is too much for me.
