Review: A fresh direction for the reluctant hitman
Rating: 5 out of 5

John F.D. Taff took this reluctant hitman story in a direction I was not at all expecting. Despite the main character being manipulated by the political machinations of a shadowy guild of assassins, he keeps the story personal and claustrophobic. This ain't Jason Bourne; this is a believable everyman without superpowers who happens to be pretty okay at killing people and has a sufficient motivation to do it. Taff blazes a fresh and innovative trail along familiar thriller territory to craft this nailbiter.
