An explosive and original thriller for fans of I Am Pilgrim.

The Killing Kind
CHRIS HOLM
Published by Hachette New Zealand,  TPB $34.99 RRP/EBK $19.99 RRP


Michael Hendricks is not a good man. He doesn't deserve a good life. But he is very good at his job. He's the killing kind.  
He doesn't accept contract kills. He doesn't work for any criminal organisation. And he never kills civilians. He only hits hitters.
   
He's not the kind of guy you call if you want to pop somebody who's pissed you off or done you wrong. He's not a guy you call at all - he calls you.  
And when he does, you'd be advised to take his call. Because it means that someone wants you dead, and time is running out to save your life.   
It's not a bad way to make a living, but it's a great way to make enemies.   
And now both the FBI and the mafia have Hendricks in their sights, he's about to learn just how good he really is.....

A great read. I hope more titles featuring Hendriccks will be forthcoming.
