THE JEALOUS ASSASSINS

Gail is a surgeon who saves lives by day and ends them by night, working deniable contracts for people who officially don't exist. Will is a history professor with a coffee tin full of pennies — one for every job he's finished for a crime family that trusts him more than it should. Neither has ever met the other. Neither needs to. A leaked file comparing their work turns two careful strangers into rivals, each one escalating to prove they're the sharper blade — until a federal profiler traces both of their "clean" kills back to the same buried network, and a contract neither of them saw coming puts them in the same room for the first time. THE JEALOUS ASSASSINS is a tense, character-driven thriller about envy, discipline, and the strange intimacy of being truly understood — by the one person who should be your enemy.
