AUTHOR OF THE BBC RADIO 2 BOOK CLUB BESTSELLER BETTER OFF DEAD

His name is a cover

He has no home

And he kills for a living

Victor is a hitman, a man with no past and no surname. His world is one of paranoia and obsessive attention to detail; his morality lies either dead or dying. No one knows what truly motivates the hunter. No one gets close enough to ask.

When a Paris job goes spectacularly wrong, Victor finds himself running for his life across four continents, pursued by a kill squad and investigated by secret services from more than one country. With meticulous style, Victor plans his escape . . . and takes the fight to his would-be killers.

In this first novel in the explosive Victor series, it's not about right and wrong - only about who lives and who dies.

Industry Reviews

Jack Reacher meets Thomas Crown in this electrifying thriller - Simon Kernick

A nonstop, breathless, trimmed-to-the-bone thriller with action sequences that are absolutely state-of-the-art. It's the best chase novel I've read in years - Joseph Finder

An impressively intricate thriller . . . The scenes are vivid and the plot revelations parcelled out at expert intervals . . . Exciting - New Yorker

A superlative debut . . . Thriller fans will be eager to see more from this bright new talent - Publishers Weekly, starred review

There are echoes of Jason Bourne, of course, but there's an added poignancy, a tinge of regret in the hero that gives this thriller an emotional, reflective quality which is rare today. Wood is a name we'll rightly hear much more about - Daily Mail

A high-octane, hard-core slice of killer action - Daily Record

Tom Wood ruthlessly dishes up an authentically brutal mid-book twist and an unapologetic killer who doesn't beg you to warm to him - Daily Telegraph
