*Winner of the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award for Best Thriller* *A Financial Times Best Thriller Book of 2022 * You'll never know my name. But you won't forget my number. Behind the events you know are the killers you don’t. When diplomacy fails, we're the ones who gear up. Officially we don’t exist, but every government in the world uses our services. We’ve been saving the world, and your ass, for one hundred years.  Sixteen people have done this job before me. I am Seventeen. The most feared assassin in the world. But to be the best, you must beat the best. My next target is Sixteen, just as one day Eighteen will hunt me down. It’s a dog-eat-dog world and it gets lonely at the top. Nobody gets to stay for long. But while we're here, all that matters is that we win. Visceral, cinematic and wildly addictive, Seventeen  will keep you on the edge of your seat and live long in the memory. Until  Eighteen  comes along… Don't miss Assassin Eighteen , John Brownlow's next riveting suspense novel—available in April 2024!
