Overview

From two-time Edgar Award-winning author Steve Hamilton, An Honorable Assassin is another terrifying thriller featuring the unstoppable Nick Mason.

He was released from federal prison to a second life as an unwilling assassin, serving a major Chicago crime lord until the day he finally won his freedom.

But that freedom was a lie.

Now Mason finds himself on a plane to Jakarta, promoted to lead assassin for a vast shadow organization that reaches every corner of the globe. This time, there's only one name on his list: Hashim Baya-otherwise known as the Crocodile-international fugitive and #1 most wanted on Interpol's “Red Notice” list. Baya is the most dangerous and elusive criminal Mason has ever faced.

And for the first time in his career ... Mason fails his mission. Baya gets away alive.

There's only one thing he can do now: to save himself, his ex-wife, and his daughter, he must make this mission his life, hunting down the target on his own. But Mason isn't alone in his search, because for Interpol agent Martin Sauvage, apprehending Baya has become a personal vendetta. Sauvage is a man just as haunted as Mason. And just as determined.

Never have the stakes been so high, the forces surrounding him so great. Sauvage wants Baya in prison. Mason needs him in a body bag. Assassin and cop are on a five-thousand-mile collision course, leading to a brutal final showdown-and the one man in the world who can finally show Nick Mason the way to freedom.


Editorial Reviews

Michael Connelly

As original as any writer I’ve ever read, Hamilton once again reinvents himself and the genre with another wonderful character and story.”

Lee Child

Whatever he writes, I’ll read. Steve Hamilton’s that good.”

Harlan Coben

A game changer. Nick mason is one of the best main characters I’ve read in years. An intense, moving, absolutely relentless book—it will grab you from the first line and never let go.”

Don Winslow

Steve Hamilton has delivered a fascinating new character.”

From the Publisher

Praise for the Nick Mason novels

Exit Strategy

“A compelling trek across very dark terrain putting Nick Mason through increasingly pulse-pounding paces with so much non-stop suspense, I read the book in two sittings.”—Huffington Post

“Scene after kinetic scene of pursuit and bloodshed . . . Exit Strategy has more twists and turns than the elevated trains that gave Chicago’s Loop its name, and it goes faster than the Jaguar XK8 that Nick drives. Sometimes acceleration is enough for a fun ride, and a fun read.”—The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
 
"The book’s brisk prose wondrously sets the tone, starting with, 'You kill one person, it changes you. You kill five ... it’s not about changing anymore.' Think Don Winslow at his coolest, as Hamilton turns up the heat in a bold, bracing and brilliant thriller.”—The Providence Journal

The Second Life of Nick Mason

“So good, it legitimately stands shoulder to padded paranoid shoulder with the classics of the crime noir genre.”—Maureen Corrigan, NPR Fresh Air

“[A] heart-pounding thriller with cinematic appeal ... Hamilton cleverly imbues the narrative with myriad of twists and turns, allowing the intricate plot to unfold with stunning and extraordinary skill and suspense. From the honor amongst thieves, to the honor amongst those sworn to protect us, to the loyalty among childhood friends and beloved family, multiple worlds collide as Hamilton catapults us into Nick Mason's complex psyche. "—Esquire.com
 
"As fertile as Chicago is for crime fiction, it isn't often that an outsider captures the underside of the local scene as memorably as Steve Hamilton does with The Second Life of Nick Mason ... The novel more than lives up to its hype."—Chicago Tribune
