"In Man on Fire, A. J. Quinnell introduced Creasy, veteran and mercenary. In The Perfect Kill, Creasy returns. Soon to be a Netflix TV Show.
Three days before Christmas in 1988, a bomb blew Pan Am 103 out of the sky over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all passengers and crew.
The wife and four-year-old daughter of Creasy were amongst the passengers. Seeking his personal vengeance, Creasy finds the backup of power — a US Senator, whose wife also died on Pan Am 103; and of youth — an eighteen-year-old orphan called Michael.
Ruthlessly and relentlessly, Creasy trains Michael into becoming a man in his own image. Trains him ... for the perfect kill.
'Intricate planning ... imaginative, well written'
MARTHA GELLHORN, WEEKEND TELEGRAPH"
"Creasy, a veteran mercenary, had found solitude on a small, Mediterranean island, far from the violent conflicts of his past profession.
That solitude is broken when he is confronted by Juliet, a thirteen-year-old heroin addict whose life has been almost destroyed by 'The Blue Ring', a powerful, worldwide cartel dealing in drugs, prostitution and the use of Satanism to pursue their ends. Now Creasy Has a new mission: to hunt down the evil men who trade in death and degradation ... and destroy their paymaster, the evil genius at the centre of an international web of corruption."
"Now a major Netflix series starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Bobby Cannavale and Alice Braga, created by Kyle Killen and directed by Steven Caple Jr.
Over 8 million copies sold.
Fierce authentic action, masterful storytelling and a touching friendship combine in this first instalment of A. J. Quinnell’s thrilling Creasy series.
Washed-up, near alcoholic, ex-mercenary Creasy takes on the job of guarding the 11-year-old daughter of an Italian industrialist. Delightful and intelligent, she penetrates his embittered cynicism to become his friend.
Then something terrible happens that fills Creasy with a deadly and unforgiving anger. Armed with his training, knowledge and a formidable array of weaponry, Creasy wages a vengeful, personal war on a powerful and evil enemy.
