Another quality installment in the Victor the Killer series. I liked this one because it focused on Victor protecting someone out of a sense of duty to a former acquaintance. That’s a piece of his backstory we weren’t privy to before.
This playing defense is a different side of Victor as he has to use all his skills to avoid being ambushed or surrounded instead of the other way around. It was like the classic trope of the hunter becoming the hunter.
But in the end it came to a shocking conclusion that was definitely atypical for other books in the series. It was a nice touch and one I feel that makes this book stand out. It was a good job all around.
