At 29, JJ has reached the peak of his career. He works out of a small consultancy in Zurich. He dates Aurianne—a beautiful air-hostess—but worries about whether he really loves her. But, thankfully, money is not a worry. You see, JJ is a contract-killer. Working freelance for a select organisation, he has built a reputation as a discreet, professional cleaner who doesn't cause trouble for employer or 'client' (beyond the obvious).
But when—after a disposing of a corpulent businessman—he becomes so fascinated with the man's beautiful companion that he lets her go, he starts a chain of events which will lead him to re-evaluate his whole life and beliefs.

Review:
David John grew up in Wales. As a teenager he was an assistant to the future British prime minister Gordon Brown. After that, he made his career in publishing, editing popular books on history and science. In 2009 he moved to Germany to write Flight from Berlin. He now lives in London, after spending several months in Seoul, South Korea, researching his second novel.
"1 'Black and filmic' - The Times 2 'The body count in this tersely controlled thriller is extremely high and rather shocking, even for die-hard thriller readers like me... A good, fast read.'
