Assassin Down - Ed Grace

. .

Résumé :

Jay Sullivan is a pathetic mess, tortured by his daughter's kidnapping, and is nothing like the legendary assassin he used to be. Could a clue out of nowhere be the redemption he needs? Or is he destined to remain an alcoholic nomad walking through life alone?

Sullivan is a legendary assassin working for a secret government organisation. He is an expert in murder, able to kill a man and cover it up without even breaking a sweat.

His only weakness is his daughter, who he desperately wants to keep away from this life.

So when the organisation turns on Sullivan, he is taken by surprise. A chase follows, leading to the one event Sullivan dreaded:

A gun to his daughter's head. No choice but to watch her as she's taken away...

He searches and searches, but she is impossible to find. With no idea where she is, he finds himself falling further into a hopeless depression.

So when, after five years of nothing, a clue finally turns up - he decides its time.

Time to brush off the old suit.

Time to ready his fists again.

Time to return to what he once was.

Even if he is an alcoholic mess who can barely throw a punch anymore.

Will he rediscover his daughter and rescue her from the man who took her? Or will he run out of time and be forced to watch her let her go again?
