Call me Seventeen. I have no other name, not any more.
Sixteen killers have done this job before me. Officially, I don't exist, but every government uses me. I'm the most feared hitman in the world.
But nobody gets to do this job for long. Because to be the best, you must beat the best, and there are rivals on my tail.
My days are numbered. But until then, it's one hell of a ride.

SEVENTEEN reinvents the hitman novel. It's a cinematic rollercoaster, full of authentic emotion and high-octane action. The tension explodes off the pages; John Brownlow is a master of suspense * Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of TRAITOR'S DANCE *

Pacy * Literary Review *
A slick, clever, edge-of-the-seat thriller * Crime Review *
This is a fresh adrenaline-charged, and snarkily funny spy thriller with an explosive climax * The Peterborough Telegraph *
Reads like a winning Amazon Prime Thriller pitch . . . utterly gripping from get-go * Irish Independent *
The book takes off like a rocket . . . Brownlow is an accomplished screenwriter, and it shows * The Financial Times *
The pace never falters a single inch in this high octane, breathless thriller. Lean, mean and thoroughly enjoyable * Crime Time *
This is probably the most action-packed spy thriller that fans of the genre will read this year, with short busy chapters where conspiracies unfold at the rate of a particularly sharp shooting pistol dispensing bullets * Irish Examiner *
Fresh and entertaining . . . it is no surprise it has been snapped up by Hollywood * Daily Mail *
This high-velocity thriller seems destined for the big screen... thanks to British-Canadian screenwriter-turned-novelist John Brownlow's vivid imagery, ultra-detailed action sequences and elaborate plotting. * National Post *
'Exquisite writing... the dialogue is pitch perfect... a book club title that is different from the usual --- grittier and very powerful' * Book Reporter *
Brownlow tells the story with verve, wit and a good dose of cynicism from Seventeen's first-person perspective. His perhaps greatest feat is not letting the reader even question this lack of distance: We are trapped in the head of a killer - and we enjoy every moment. -- Marcus Müntefering * Spiegel Kultur *
