The Killer by Tom Hinshelwood
Forget James Bond. Forget Jason Bourne. Forget Jack Bauer. Meet Victor. He's an assassin-a man with no past and no surname. He lives alone. He operates alone. He's given a job; he takes out the target; he gets paid. He's THE KILER. Victor arrives in Paris to perform a standard kill and collect for an anonymous client. He completes it with trademark efficiency-only to find himself in the middle of an ambush and fighting for his life. Pursued by determined enemies, a woman too beautiful to be safe, and intelligence agencies from both sides of the Atlantic, Victor will soon discover there is nowhere left for him to hide . . . and no one he can trust. But he is every bit as ruthless as those hunting him. And Victor will find out who wants him dead and why-one corpse at a time.
