Former CIA agent Antonio Alvarez has been tracking a vicious murderer for years, a nameless hitman responsible for numerous homicides.
Once, the Agency deflected him away from his search, but now promotion has given him a second chance to right the past.
Only problem is, the killer has vanished.
Thousands of miles away, the professional known as Victor has stopped working - recently he began to care; he made mistakes. But there's another assassin, Raven, who needs his help - and she is hard to refuse . . .
Enter a world of betrayal, tension and twists perfect for fans of Gregg Hurwitz (
Orphan X,
The Nowhere Man), James Swallow (
Nomad,
Exile) and Terry Hayes (
I Am Pilgrim,
Day of the Locust).
About the Author
Tom Wood is a full-time writer born in Burton-on-Trent who now lives in London. After a stint as freelance editor and film-maker, he completed his first novel,
The Hunter, which was an instant bestseller and introduced readers to a genuine antihero, Victor, an assassin with a purely logical view on life and whose morals are deeply questionable. Like Victor, Tom is passionate about physical sport, being both a huge boxing fan and practising Krav Maga martial arts, which has seen him sustain a number of injuries. He has not, however, ever killed anyone.
