EVERY LIFE HAS ITS PRICE
She’s known as the Wolf: an assassin working through a kill list with cool efficiency.
Then someone gets in her way: Evan Smoak.
First, he refuses to conveniently die.
Then he stops her killing others.
Evan has the Wolf’s measure. He met plenty like her in a former life.
But not since he's had so much to lose.
And the powers behind her are bigger than he could possibly imagine.
The Wolf's got Evan in her sights.
She won’t stop. It’s kill – or be killed. Cat and mouse.
And Evan has one fatal weakness.
His humanity . . .

Disappointing
Having read all the Nowhere man books I had this on pre order and was eager to get into it when it dropped but I’m afraid it’s not very good, certainly not the usual kind of stuff.
The book feels as though the author had to pad out the book with the more softer side of the worlds deadliest assassin due to struggling to come up with anything else.
He’s essentially killed a couple of computer geeks.
Maybe Evan has run his course now, I hope not but I do hope the next instalment is better and more along the usual lines
