This book grabs you right at the beginning and won’t let go. Laure Cohn is a U.S. agent trying to trap whoever is operating as Loki Enterprises. The U.S. would like to enlist h/her for its own purposes. They set up a target, hire Loki and then watch as Katla kills the men in the airport on tape and...
Wow. This second in the series is really a page-turner. Halm takes us in a slightly different direction. A gang of Chinese underworld are anxious to take over Sphinx Shipping of which Katla is a majority stockholder (in reality probably the brains behind the operation) and that want it for free. Kat...
My appetite for Halm’s Assassin series was whetted by reading his novellas.Halm skillfully merges several story lines together in this entertaining novel. Unlike his short works,, here he has added several interesting characters: Deborah Stern, a DEA agent coming off a shooting who has been transfer...
Until now, the closest I came to reading crime fiction was Roberto Bolano's The Skating Rink. That being said, I've seen enough of Martyn Halm on the GR threads to grow at least a bit curious about his writing.

I'm always looking for fun reads involving "bad" guys and assassins fits that category nicely. Block's Keller series sets the standard, of course, and...

I was given this book by the author in return for a fair and honest review. I liked the book - there was an interesting concept, executed in an interesting plot, and with characters who were not stereotyped and were intriguing.
