The acclaimed thriller featuring the unique antihero assassin Victor, now with a stunning new look.

His name is a cover
He has no home
And he kills for a living


Victor is an assassin, 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 the Assassin series, it's not about right and wrong - only about who lives and who dies.
