An Honorable Assassin (The Nick Mason Novels)

Nick Mason is used to being in tight spots as he was a former inmate in a maximum security prison. However, an arrangement led to an early release but with certain provisions. He has been tasked with carrying out high-profile assassinations. Yet, the outside world has carried the potential for as many lethal double-crosses as he faced behind bars.

He finds himself in Jakarta, Indonesia where he has been ordered to take out a financier of terrorism. His handlers provide scant intel as Mason must think quickly when plans go awry and the target eludes his pursuers. Mason is told that failure is not an option and his ex-wife and daughter’s lives hang on the success of the mission. Mason will need to contend with a possible mole on his team along with a vengeance-seeking Interpol agent in carrying out the hit.

An Honorable Assassin is the third and latest book in the excellent Nick Mason series by the exceptionally talented Steve Hamilton. The story is loaded with both explosive action and drama as Mason’s Faustian bargain continues to haunt his every move. Mason proves to be an intriguing and engrossing lead character in his evolving storyline.
