The assassin: the world''s most successful contract killer. An anonymous professional with a unique calling card - one bullet in the head and one in the chest for each and every target.

The Judas goat: an ex-member of the SAS, Mike Cramer is the perfect sacrificial bait. When the FBI discover the next name on the assassin''s hitlist, Cramer is set up to take his place.

The wild card: Cramer''s past has caught up with him. Ex-IRA extremist Dermot Lynch blames Cramer for his lover''s death - and he''s out for revenge.

As Cramer trains for the most dangerous mission of his career, Lynch hunts down his sworn enemy. And the unknown assassin silently closes in on his target. The players are in position for the final deadly game . . .

Industry Reviews

'In the top rank of thriller writers' -- Jack Higgins 'Stephen Leather should be nestling in your bookshelves alongside Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins' -- Daily Mail 'A fine tale, brilliantly told' -- Oxford Times on THE DOUBLE TAP 'Leather, a former journalist, can dispense high-adrenaline plotting but never at the expense of remembering that his characters are humans rather than Action Dolls.' -- Sunday Express 'Reading Stephen Leather at leisure is always a pleasure.' -- Ireland on Sunday 'Stephen Leather's novel manages to put a contemporary spin on a timeless tale of revenge and retribution... Leather's experience as a journalist brings a sturdy, gritty element to a tale of horror ... which makes The Eyewitness a compelling read' - Evening Herald, Dublin 'As high-tech and as world-class as the thriller genre gets' - Express on Sunday on The Bombmaker 'A whirlwind of action, suspense and vivid excitement' - Irish Times on The Birthday Girl 'Exciting stuff with plenty of heart-palpitating action gingered up by mystery and intrigue ... Leather is an intelligent thriller writer' - Daily Mail on The Tunnel Rats
