Summary

Mark Dawson's Group Fifteen Files. Quick, lightning-paced action from the first minute to the last.

They call him 'Scorpion'. No-one knows his real name, and the only people who have seen his face are dead. He works for the highest bidder, and he's never missed a target.

The assassin appears in London with the name of an investigative reporter on his list. But has Scorpion met his match? The reporter has a protector - John Milton. And Milton might be the only man in the world more dangerous than him.

Enjoyable short story

Reader does a great job
You can guess what’s coming next but it’s still a good wee distraction.

Great short story.

Bought on offer, I don't like books this short and feel they should be combined for better value. Howerer I will read/listen to any John Milton book.

Excellent story well told

Initially felt I wasn’t going to enjoy this story - but before long I was hooked. Good selection of characters and less padding than sometimes happens. Will be looking for future reads.

Best so far

Listened to a few of the same author in the included section. This is by far the best one. Less cliche better characters and story.
