About this listen
Long Before Jason Bourne, There Was Kane
Kane was a top CIA assassin until he suffered traumatic physical and psychological injuries in a mission that went horribly wrong. The Agency wiped his memory, gave him a new identity, and retired him to a life of mundane, anonymous domesticity. But his training, and his talent for kiling, came back with a vengeance. He created a new life for himself as a killer-for-hire, righting wrongs for people who can't find peace or justice any other way. He doesn't know that his memories are fiction, or that he is always being watched, or that he's been targeted for death by a rogue faction within the Agency.
A Talent for Killing
In this brutal, fast-moving thriller from Ralph Dennis, the author of the legendary Hardman series of crime novels, Kane finds himself caught between the mob, Cuban revolutionaries, and his own government as he seeks retribution for a man murdered for uncovering small-town corruption...and justice for another man on death row, falsely convicted of raping and murdering a child.

Kane, a man with no memory, no past, does what he does best - he kills leople. Once a VIA agent, a trained assassin, he'd been traumatically injured on an assignment, emotionally as well as physically, so, his memory wiped of his entire last and a new background identity installed in his mind he was relocated and found an innocuous occuption. But something approximating to muscle memory crew him away from this safe life, back to assassination, working for a different organisation. But he was watched, his own termination only prevented by the man who originally recruited and trained him.
This book is really two stories in one,lone following the other, the connecting link between the two tales that which Kane himself does not know - his true pathway and identity. It has a noir, mix twentieth century feel, the characters never developing much beyond two dimensional. Hey it hold the reader's attention with that outsider fascination of knowing more than the story participants understand. Narration by Shawn Compton is good, in keeping with the book's style, well paced and articulated.
Whilst the detective stories contained within A Talent for Killing are somewhat convoluted, even confusing, at times - who, exactly, is working for who? - and not really plausible, they are still enjoyable reads. My thanks to the rights holder, who at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. A combination old style detective, murder with a hint of spy thriller, and recommended for the novelty of several agencies spying on each other. Enjoy
