Publisher Description
When the British government needs to make an enemy disappear, Jay is the man they call on. He doesn't ask questions, because he doesn't want to know the answers. Jay is a contract killer and for him the rules of the game are simple - kill or be killed.
His latest contract will not only require him to push his SAS training to its limit, but also put to the test the patriotism and sense of duty that set him on the path to becoming a cold blooded killer-for hire. A classic thriller from the creator of Z-Cars and Softly, Softly.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jay, the hero of Prior's appealing and neatly plotted espionage thriller (after A Cast of Stars, is quiet adept at what he doeswhich is killing people for the British government. Though the money is good, idealism also motivates Jay; he is a patriot, albeit a slightly embittered one. When his "control'' sends him to an elite army training camp, Jay believes he is being tested for something unusual, a suspicion confirmed when an attractive CIA agent named Marty recruits him for an assignment in America. Although he has had close calls on recent assignmentsincluding one that involved IRA assassinsJay accepts the CIA offer, largely because of Marty's singular enticements. Occasional slow-moving passages aside, the book proceeds nicely, right up to the neat twist provided by Jay's American target.
