Publisher synopsis: Opening move … After executing a hit on a fellow assassin in Algiers, Victor — the world's deadliest hit man — is contracted by the CIA for an assignment that will take him across Europe to the blood-stained streets of Rome … and straight into hell.

Counter move … Victor must pose as his previous — and very much dead — target to figure out who the killer’s next victim was going to be. But what was supposed to be a quick operation soon becomes much more complicated and treacherous.

Final move … Forced to work with a group of ruthless mercenaries, Victor will face a choice he would rather not make: do the right thing, or sacrifice the only thing in the world he truly cares about — his own life.
