Victor is back with a bang! Another great thriller from Tom Wood, which fans will love. Victor is caught up with the disappearance of a mother and child and is on a mission to save them. It's well written, fast paced and full of action. What more can I say, other than just read it! Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

“A Quiet Man” is an action packed thriller about an assassin who is en route away from the scene of his last job, the murder of a Chicago mob boss. He books into a Canadian hotel in a small town and befriends a young boy, Joshua and his mother Michelle, who works at there.
When Michelle and Joshua disappear after arranging to meet up with “Victor”, the assassin, he is the only one who seems to notice or care. Despite reporting it to the police, Victor decides to investigate on his own and gets caught up with some very unsavoury residents of the town.
It became clear early on that this book was part of a series which I had not read but that proved not to be problem as the plot was very self contained.
I liked the character of Victor, who although he earned his living by killing people, still seemed to have some sort of moral compass. He felt compassion for Joshua as he reminded him of his own difficult childhood and for that reason he is determined to find out where he and Michelle have gone.
There is a lot of action and violence in the book and it also moves at a very fast pace which meant that it was an entertaining and quick read..
I would definitely read another book in this series and heartily recommend it to readers who enjoy action thrillers.
