At fifteen, he brags, I was the youngest person to deliberately kill a grown man!' For twenty years, the assassin works his way up a bloody ladder of success - his marks are increasingly prominent public figures. Through the killers own eyes, we see him gaining status in his field of murder for hire. Until he finally selects too lofty a target.
From the author praised for the strong authenticity of his crime novels, of which he s written over sixty, comes his newest and most fascinating.
The thoughts of a paid killer were never described any better than in this shattering explosive novel.
