Vergeet Jack Reacher, vergeet Jason Bourne, vergeet James Bond. Hier is… Tom Woods Victor Victor is een freelancer, een professional, een killer – de beste die er is. Hij is ijskoud, efficiënt en trefzeker. Hij leeft alleen, hij werkt alleen en niemand kent zijn achtergrond of echte naam. Voor hem is iedere opdracht een zuiver zakelijke transactie: hij schakelt het doelwit uit en hij krijgt ervoor betaald. Wanneer hij in Parijs is om een routineklus op te knappen voor een anonieme klant loopt hij in een hinderlaag en moet hij ineens vechten voor zijn leven; een rol die volkomen nieuw voor hem is. Hij heeft geen idee wie zijn tegenstander is, maar één ding is zeker: hij laat zich door niets tegenhouden. Victor slaat op de vlucht en trekt door Europa terwijl de autoriteiten hem proberen te dwarsbomen en hij op de hielen wordt gezeten door niet één maar meerdere huurmoordenaars en geheime diensten. Maar Victor is geen makkelijk doelwit – en hij is minstens zo meedogenloos als zijn achtervolgers…
