Description
'Terrifically fun and explosively propulsive'
Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X
For years, two sisters have vied for the turf of their dead crime boss father. Across the streets of Guatemala City, bodies have piled up; the US Drug Enforcement Agency, operating far from its own borders, is powerless to stop the fighting.
But now one sister has a weapon that could finally win the war - a cold, amoral hitman known, fittingly, as 'Victor'.
Freed from previous employers the CIA and MI6, Victor is a killer for-hire whose sense of self-preservation trumps all else. Yet as betrayal and counter-betrayal unspool in the vicious family feud, Victor finds himself at the centre of a storm even he could be powerless to stop.
Acclaimed bestseller Tom Wood blows the completion away with his twisting, relentless new thriller, perfect for fans of Gregg Hurwitz (Orphan X, Hellbent), James Swallow (Nomad, Ghost) and Terry Hayes (I Am Pilgrim, Day of the Locust).
'Great, page-turning, with a hard edge'
James Swallow

I wasn't quite sure if I would like this or even understand it given the kick ass premise and prose I then read, but it was one heck of a read.
The location really made it and was a characters in itself. This is the country and city at war, drugs, guns, more guns and gueriilas of all kinds.. This is a world I have no experience of apart from in novels and and its a way of life, a way of living that is alien to most people but this is what was so fascinating. The drugs, the cartels and those who work and 'play at its heart.
There's something about the cartel environment which is really thrilling and very frightening and there's lots of action scenes to really get flung into. The characters aren't exactly those I'd like to meet on the street anytime soon but boy did they act their roles and then some.
Oh there's not much I can say as there's too much to discover. Dive in head first for the thrills and spills - this is quite a world Tom's created and the scary thing is there's probably a fair bit of this that's real.

This is a fast moving and very enjoyable novel about Victor a Hitman for Hire who takes on a couple of drug cartels in Guatemala. No big challenge!
The action comes fast & furious and it seems very real and authentic. You definitely keep turning the pages.
The writing is excellent and the main characters are well formed and described.
The ending leaves an opening for further stories in the future and hopefully these will be written and published
Thoroughly recommended
