About this ebook
*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!

You don't "armbar him in the face." An armbar is done standing or on the ground, but it's a joint lock, not a strike. You're breaking the arm at the elbow, it's got nothing to do with the face. Other than that, an amazing, exciting, and addictive read that I couldn't put down. I bought part two before I was anywhere near finished with part one, though I finished it in record time for me. It's brutal. It's smarter than you think. Mr. Brownlow, if you need any advisement on the hand to hand scenes, let me know
