Chant
Professional assassin and martial arts master Chant is about to go from hunter to hunted in this thriller from the author of the Mongo Mysteries.
John “Chant” Sinclair is precise, patient, perfect. A highly trained killer with a mastery of martial arts, he’s able to slip in and out of any situation, in any disguise, all while maintaining absolute control.
In a former life Chant was a soldier, but now he’s the world’s most wanted criminal, working for himself and taking only the jobs he wants. Governments want to either hire him or kill him. No matter the foe, Chant’s skills have made him untouchable . . . until now.
Years ago, one man taught Chant to be a dealer of death, a warrior whose very name, Bai, strikes fear into the hearts of men. Now, Bai has been hired to take out his former protégé, and when master and student face off, only one will emerge victorious—and alive.
Chant is the 1st book in the Chant Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

I've read almost all of Chesbro's books and this is the first one u sbsolutely could not get into. I realized after about :35 pages that I just didn't care.

Good (but not great) thriller from George Chesbro. A nice change from the Mongo series, but i found it a bit less rich and engaging.

A nice side project for George writing as David Cross. Hard to find series but well worth it.

Enjoyed the book as I wanted to get to the ending to see if Chant was love struck or just plain hiding behind the sex. Sue
