Synopsis

Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award Winning-Author of AGENT SEVENTEEN

“John Brownlow is a master of suspense.” —Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Traitor’s Dance

I am waiting for someone to kill me. Tonight would be a good night for it.

Agent Seventeen, the most infamous hit man in the world, has quit. But whoever wants to become Assassin Eighteen must track him down and kill him first. So when a bullet hits the glass inches from his face, he knows who fired it—doesn't he?

It turns out that the sniper isn't the hardened killer he was expecting. It's Mireille—a mysterious silent child abandoned in the woods with instructions to pull the trigger. Reuniting with his spiky lover, Kat, Seventeen has to protect Mireille and discover who sent her to kill him and why. But the road he must travel is littered with bodies. And the answer, when it comes, will blow apart everything Seventeen thought he knew.

"The most action-packed spy thriller that fans of the genre will read this year." —Irish Examiner

"Brownlow is an accomplished screenwriter, and it shows in his style." —Financial Times

4.5 stars Wow what a thrill ride of a read. From the very beginning of Seventeen’s story this book takes you on a fast-paced journey from Svalbard to South America and many places in between.

Good storyline, I liked it, but it seemed vaguely familiar. Good pace, short chapters helped, they got shorter as the action intensifies. It's the second in a series, might have to go back and read the first.......more

Goodreads review by XOX on February 22, 2024

This book read like an action B movie. Seventeen is an assassin who lived alone. He has left the killer business and waiting for someone to kill him and take the title. It read like Killer Elite with a lot of men trying to live a short life. I still don’t know why they choose this occupation if it is......more

Whip-smart, crisp writing and short fast chapters really move this novel along at a quick pace. If you want an edgy read, this would be the book......more
