Book Synopsis

The assassin: the world''s most successful contract killer. An anonymous professional with a unique calling card - one bullet in the head and one in the chest for each and every target.

The Judas goat: an ex-member of the SAS, Mike Cramer is the perfect sacrificial bait. When the FBI discover the next name on the assassin''s hitlist, Cramer is set up to take his place.

The wild card: Cramer''s past has caught up with him. Ex-IRA extremist Dermot Lynch blames Cramer for his lover''s death - and he''s out for revenge.

As Cramer trains for the most dangerous mission of his career, Lynch hunts down his sworn enemy. And the unknown assassin silently closes in on his target. The players are in position for the final deadly game . . .
