Firefight
MERCY HAS A COST. TIME FOR VICTOR TO PAY.
Assassin-for-hire Victor is in Bucharest, Romania, to kill two targets meeting to exchange stolen intelligence his client wants back. It should be a simple task - until he realises the second of his targets is a former ally. Even for a man of Victor's twisted morality, he's not prepared to kill someone to whom he owes his life.
To atone for not completing the job, Victor agrees to take on the kind of dangerous assignment he would otherwise avoid. At a conference on international relations, he must identify and assassinate a killer just like him and remain unseen, despite a guest list of spies, dignitaries, and security experts. Even for an elite professional, the job is a tall order - which is why he looks for help from the person whose life he spared in Romania.
Yet unbeknownst to Victor, the Bucharest contract stepped on the toes of powerful enemies from his past; enemies who now know exactly where to find him . . .

Thankfully victor still lives on.
Victor is one of the most complex and simple character in the assassin stories I have read. No one compares. Look forward to his next journey. As always thought provoking.

Awesome as always
Great read. Raven is always great in this series. She contrasts Victor so well, almost his equal but just enough difference to enhance both characters. Really enjoyed this book.
