CONTRACT: IMPOSSIBLE: André Warner, Manhunter – Volume VI

by Lex Lander

THERE WAS NO WAY TO BE SURE HE WASN'T ABOUT TO KILL THE WRONG MAN When André Warner encounters a beautiful woman in Spain, she seems to know a lot about him – too much for her own good, and his. His suspicions are borne out when he is approached by a third party to undertake what he considers to be an impossible contract that has connections with the mysterious woman. The job is too lucrative to refuse and sends him off to Budapest in search of the victim who hasn't been seen for eleven years. His new friend Angela comes along to join in the search, although she is unaware of the purpose of his task, and they embark on an affair that turns out to be the first step on the road to his demise. Just when he thinks he has the job sewn up, betrayal from an unexpected quarter prevents him from going ahead, and leads to a confrontation in Monaco that looks sure to end his career as an assassin, if not his life.

About the author

Born in Britain, raised in France, attended Auckland University in New Zealand where I obtained a degree in French and Italian, I now live and work in Montreal. Despite heavy business commitments – I am a partner in a Property Realtor business – I am currently finding time to produce two novels per annum until I achieve success. Failure is not an option.

My first, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER JACKAL, was published in 2014 as a ‘trial run’ and is available as an eBook and a B-format paperback on Amazon. My two current thrillers, Vols I and II in the André Warner, Manhunter series are also available as eBooks on Amazon, and as B-format paperbacks though the UK’s largest bookselling chain, WHSmiths.

Further titles in the Warner series are on their way, as well as a crime thriller set in the south of France, to launch a new series. My publisher is keeping my nose to the grindstone!

I hope I will eventually soon become a force to be reckoned with in the crime-writing world, and secure my future as a novelist of repute. Then maybe I’ll give up selling properties!
