The Business of Death cover

An international assassination thriller blending a hitman’s strict moral code with a setup in Bosnia, criminal power struggles and dry, dark humour.

Nick Hunter only kills people the world is better off without, but someone has decided he qualifies.

Forty thousand dollars to eliminate a Bosnian war criminal is good business. Nick makes the shot, walks away and prepares to head home to Edinburgh.

Then someone blows up his accommodation.

The contract never came from the CIA. A criminal power broker used the agency’s identity to hire Nick to kill a rival. Now he wants the hitman disposed of too.

With his passport flagged and his money cut off, Nick has no easy way out of Bosnia. His CIA contact can offer advice, but no official protection. Even his fellow assassins have been warned against helping him.

Nick earns his living getting close to men who don’t want to be found. Getting close to this one could be his only way home.

For readers who love:

  • A hitman with a conscience.
  • The hunter becoming the hunted.
  • Assassination contracts that turn into setups.
  • Lone operatives without official backup.
  • Clever disguises, improvised escapes and dark humour.


The Business of Death is Book 1 in The Nick Hunter Vigilante Thriller Series. Perfect for readers of Lee Child, J.B. Turner and Rob Sinclair who love resourceful antiheroes and justice delivered outside the law.
