Michael
Hendricks
kills
people
for
money.
That
aside,
he's
not
so
bad
a
guy.
Once
a
covert
operative
for
a
false-flag
unit
of
the
US
military,
Hendricks
was
presumed
dead
after
a
mission
in
Afghanistan
went
sideways.
He
left
behind
his
old
life--and
beloved
fiancée--and
set
out
on
a
path
of
redemption...or
perhaps
one
of
willful
self-destruction.
Now
Hendricks
makes
his
living
as
a
hitman
entrepreneur
of
sorts--he
only
hits
other
hitmen.
For
ten
times
the
price
on
your
head,
he'll
make
sure
whoever's
coming
to
kill
you
winds
up
in
the
ground
instead.
Not
a
bad
way
for
a
guy
with
his
skill-set
to
make
a
living--but
a
great
way
to
make
himself
a
target.

Recenzii
"Chris
Holm'sThe
Killing
Kindis
my
favorite
thriller
of
the
fall
lineup.
Here's
a
solid
gold
premise:
an
assassin
who
only
kills
other
assassins.
.
.
.
The
cat-and-mouse
game
that
follows
is
pure
joy.
.
.
.
This
novel
is
so
fast-moving,
so
expertly
arranged,
every
piece
fitting
together
with
a
well-oiled
snap,
that
it
feels
weaponized.
Read
it.
Or
else."—Benjamin
Percy,
"Pure thriller with a smart, vicious twist . . . What makes this book sing [is] its lean action, breakneck execution, and a nervy concept that's almost too perfect. . . . The book has plenty of sly humor, sharp dialogue, and even the occasional yanked heartstring. And there's a rhythm to it, relentless and breathtaking."—Jason Heller,National Public Radio
"Chris Holm loads an ingenious premise-an assassin who kills only other assassins-into a high-powered story that goes off like a rocket. His protagonist, Mike Hendricks, is an all-American anti-hero with his own code of justice, living on stolen time.The Killing Kindis sleek and smart, and will stay with you long after you've finished reading."—Joseph Finder, New York Times bestselling author of The Fixer

"The
writing
is
tight
and
tense
.
.
.
This
is
a
fun
spin
on
crime
fiction."
—Jeff
Ayers,Associated
Press"WithThe
Killing
Kind,Chris
Holm
has
created
a
story
of
rare,
compelling
brilliance,
with
a
concept
so
high
you'll
need
oxygen
to
finish
it.
Hit
man
against
hit
man,
one
pure
silk
and
evil,
the
other
not
exactly
good,
but
we
root
for
him
anyway
as
the
classic
antihero.
This
is
a
one-sitting,
extravagant,
mind-blowing
reading
pleasure
with
a
stable
of
characters
who
come
across
as
all
flesh,
bone
and
folly.
You
will
never
look
at
men
hired
to
kill
other
humans
the
same
way.
You
won't
merely
read
this
book,
you
will
inhale
it."

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
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 knows he's a bad person, but he still has a code: he doesn't work for anyone but himself, and he never kills civilians. He only hits hitters.
It's not a bad way to make a living, but it's a great way to make enemies.
And now the FBI and the mafia have Hendricks in their sights, he's about to learn just how good he really is...
