'Terrifically fun and explosively propulsive'
Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X

For years, two sisters have vied for the turf of their dead crime boss father. Across the streets of Guatemala City, bodies have piled up; the US Drug Enforcement Agency, operating far from its own borders, is powerless to stop the fighting.

But now one sister has a weapon that could finally win the war - a cold, amoral hitman known, fittingly, as 'Victor'.

Freed from previous employers the CIA and MI6, Victor is a killer for-hire whose sense of self-preservation trumps all else. Yet as betrayal and counter-betrayal unspool in the vicious family feud, Victor finds himself at the centre of a storm even he could be powerless to stop.

Acclaimed bestseller Tom Wood blows the completion away with his twisting, relentless new thriller, perfect for fans of Gregg Hurwitz (Orphan X, Hellbent), James Swallow (Nomad, Ghost) and Terry Hayes (I Am Pilgrim, Day of the Locust).

'Great, page-turning, with a hard edge'
James Swallow

Ultima avventura di Victor, l' assassino creato da wood, questo libro è come gli altri pieno di azione ed adrenalina, la trama è interessante ma non mi ha convinto fino in fondo. Forse l' autore dovrebbe pensare a cambiare qualcosa...voto 7.

Another great story with Victor

I love every book about Victor the killer.
I can easily read it in English because Tom wood write so clearly that is easy and I can't wait for the Italian edition. This one was just great with a new female character that I suspect will appear again in the next book. Although Raven was the top! I want her back Tom :-)

First Class with some new touches from an author growing into his peak

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 17 febbraio 2019

Acquisto verificato

This is the finest in the Victor series so far. Tom Wood is expanding the range of his writing. Alongside the story of Victor's exploits, we are given an overview of the narcotics trade in South America, two frightening psychopaths worthy of Thomas Harris (and I do not mean Victor as one of these!), and some interesting factual information which goes well beyond guns and ballistics. For instance, advances in plastic shrink wrapping have an impact on how small cartels can make packages of money and drugs for transportation and new machinery is bought up eagerly for this purpose to increase efficiency and reduce losses - real or made up, a quite fascinating idea!

This novel also has a more intricate plot than in previous Victor iterations. Victor's past is revealed (softly softly very little at a time....) and he lightens up in some passages wherein there is considerable humour. These passages alternate with the main plot line which, as usual, is Victor carrying out a commission. However, the book also devotes time to a wider cast of characters and their lives and all of this manages to contribute to the overall plot line.

One has to go back to Ian Fleming for this level of skill - although Gregg Hurwitz in the Orphan X books is up there too. Tom Wood has added depth to his writing and the depiction of the two psychopaths noted above are chilling, believable and although they may owe something to Thomas Harris the depictions demonstrate increasing skill in the craft of writing. One could go out on a limb - this is an existential thriller, yet at the same time it is entertaining from start to finish. Tnis is no mean feat!

Glaring technical errors

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 16 marzo 2022

While it’s not the best Victor outing, the story is passable.

A couple of howlers stood out for me though.

First off, you’d hardly be likely to start flying lessons in a twin engined aircraft.

Does a Cessna182 have autopilot? Would it have been engaged when Victor attacked the pilot?

He apparently used the flaps to steer towards his target.

He used a 1200 mm lens ( which would be humongous) - how did he get it on the plane under the nose of the pilot, far less manoeuvre it out the window and actually point the thing without dropping it far less get it accurately pointed at something.

Way far fetched. Hard to believe that Tom Wood actually wrote this to be honest.

As Usual Another Gripping Thriller From This Great Character

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 27 agosto 2018

Acquisto verificato

The latest story from Tom Wood and his great character Victor The Assassin.

Freed from previous employers the CIA and MI6, Victor is a killer for-hire whose sense of self-preservation trumps all else. Yet as betrayal and counter-betrayal unspool in the vicious family feud, Victor finds himself at the centre of a storm even he could be powerless to stop.

Lethal assassin Victor lands in the middle of a Guatemalan cartel war in the latest nonstop thriller from the international bestselling author of The Final Hour. KEEP YOUR ENEMIES CLOSE...

Victor is the killer who always delivers...for the right price. And Heloise Salvatierra, patron of Guatemala's largest cartel, is ready and willing to pay him just that to eliminate the competition: her sister. Heloise has been battling Maria for control of the cartel in an endless and bloody war. Now Victor decides who survives. An easy job if it weren't for the sudden target on his back. ...AND THEIR ENEMIES CLOSER.

Victor's not the only one on the hunt. Someone else has Maria in the crosshairs and will do anything to get the kill. In the middle of cartel territory with enemies closing in from all sides, Victor must decide where to put the bullet before one is placed in his head....

The advantage of reading the whole series in order is you get to know Victor and I cannot help but like his character, love the character. Tom Wood has the perfect character and personality and creates a great story, with two nasty sisters, another assassin on the loose, a great sassy DEA Officer as well as some nasty cartel nasties.

Slower in pace to some of his previous novels due to the detail of the planning, but the strength is the story and how it builds to a very clever and complex and fast paced ending.

Maybe I am biased as I just love the character, but as usual for a Tom Wood book. Five stars

This author is a favourite of my book club "A Good Thriller" on goodreads.com

“ I never enter a room that I cannot walk out of”.

Recensito nel Regno Unito 🇬🇧 il 23 febbraio 2019

The thinking man’s assassin is hired to kill the female leader of a Guatemalan drug cartel. The twist? It is the woman’s sister sourcing Victor’s services. Of course, nothing is at it first appears with Victor and despite Victor’s explicit instructions that he works alone, his paymaster tasks a second assassin to complete the kill.

As we have come to expect from Victor, he does his homework and some collateral damage ensues. The build up to the point where Victor earns his pay is expertly drawn out and the story is tempered with Victor’s reflections on the assassin’s lot as well as some interaction with a, very much temporary, love interest. She is somewhat wary of Victor; not quite buying into his cover story as being a commodities trader. That is okay though as Victor does not necessarily buy her story either.

After the last few books coming across as rather washed out affairs, Kill For Me sees Victor at the very top of his game.

An out and out joy to read and hopefully a marker for even better things to come.

Buy it or borrow it, kill for it if you have to, but read this one!

I don't normally write reviews, but I have a confession to make... I'm a book addict who's in love with Victor, and Tom Wood is one of my favourite writers. So I just couldn't not write a review.

I will skip the description bit, you can read that in the blurb, and just get straight to the point. I loved it! But this is not enough to make you log into your Amazon account or run to the nearest bookstore and buy it, is it now? Although you should. Trust me when I say it, any and all of Tom Wood's books are a must-read if you enjoy crime thrillers written exceptionally well and with enough twists and turns to make you want to call in sick to work just to finish the book. And Kill For Me is no exception. It's hard to put down. If you're familiar with this series you love Victor just as much as I do and already know you have to read this one too. If you're not, however, here's a bit about the most dangerous and highly addictive assassin in the whole world: you can hire him if you need to kill someone (although you might not afford him unless you're the CIA or the patron of Guatemala's largest cartel), he's super intelligent, more lethal than a battalion of pissed-off marines, you see everything he sees in great detail and understand every decision he makes to the point where you feel like you're the one fighting and killing all those bad guys. Reading the books in the series in order lets you get to know Victor really well and you know for a fact that he's not the one to allow himself... feelings. Of any kind. Untill now. In comes the sassy and sexy DEA special agent Joanna Alamaeda, and Victor... well, I'll let you discover what Victor does, I don't want to spoil it for you. I just want to say this: I liked this twist in the plot. :)

Of course there are other characters in the book and not just Victor. The ruthless Heloise Salvatierra, patron of Guatemala's largest cartel, who rules through fear and hates her sister so much that she hires Victor to kill her; sicarios, thugs and other bad guys who want Victor dead for one reason or another, but only manage to get themselves killed by him. There's non-stop action, twists and turns, fighting and killing, lots of planning too, and enough intrigue to keep you hooked the whole time. The writing is beautiful, Tom Wood is a great storyteller, the characters are complex and everything flows naturally. The setting is exotic and you can't help but feel the heat and humidity in Guatemala city, along with the hardships and violence people have to deal with on a regular basis there.

What more can I say without revealing too much? Just this: buy it or borrow it, kill for it if you have to ;), but read this one!
