The Final Hour by Tom Wood

Victor is the ultimate hitman who surfaces to kill and then disappears into thin air. An angel of death without mercy, he has lots of enemies including people who have hired him to do their dirty work, both the good guys and the bad. He is a marked man in his chosen profession.

Antonio Alvarez, a high-ranking US intelligence official, is hell-bent on catching the legendary Victor. There’s only one person Victor can turn to for help: a lethal female assassin going by the codename Raven whose life he once saved. And now Victor wants her to return the favor by staging his own death. Raven, on the other hand. also needs help from Victor to rescue her brother whose life has been threathened.

Though Victor and Raven are ruthless, I can’t help rooting for them as they meticulously planned their actions and then carried them out with deadly precision.

This is a propulsive novel that is hard to put down. Highly recommended!
