Tom Wood, whose writing "crackles like the early work of Robert Ludlum" (Booklist) returns with a white-knuckle read--and an anti-hero assassin who sets a new standard for delivering brutal, no-holds-barred action... HE GOES BY ONE NAME. HE HAS NO PAST. HIS FUTURE IS MURDER. Victor's been out of commission for six months--but as dangerous as ever and still at the top of his game. A former assassin-for-hire now locked in uneasy alliance with a CIA special unit, Victor is in Berlin preparing for what was supposed to be a simple assignment: taking out the scout of a notorious crime lord. But life--and death--is full of surprises. As Victor tracks his target, he realizes that he's not the only assassin with a special interest in his prey. And if Victor is going to do his job, he has to stop someone else from doing theirs. Includes a preview of Tom Wood's The Enemy
