___________

In his latest gripping adventure, the world's deadliest assassin is all out of luck.

Malmö, Sweden. What should have been a simple job - to kill the heir of an organised crime family - spirals out of control when assassin-for-hire Victor is shot and wounded.

Forced to hide out in a hostile city while he recuperates, he doesn't realise that multiple enemies are circling to take advantage of his circumstances.

Faced with a vengeful criminal organisation, corrupt officials, ruthless bounty hunters, elite mercenaries, and the most dangerous assassin he's ever faced, Victor's luck has finally run out.©2025 Thomas Hinshelwood Espionage Spies & Politics Technothrillers Thriller & Suspense Assassin
