The Man Who Hunted Himself

(The third book in the Andre Warner, Manhunter series)
A novel by

 
 
Andre Warner is a former operative of the British Secret Service, turned contract killer, with over forty contracts under his belt.

An approach from Carl Heider, an American racketeer, whose elder brother, Jeff, was assassinated two years previously, seems routine enough, the kind of assignment that is Warner's meat and drink. He kills bad guys and only bad guys, and Heider wants him to hunt down his brother's killer. This time though there's a complication that he can see no way to solve. To simply decline the contract is not even an option though, and he agrees to go ahead.

He flies to Las Vegas, ostensibly to interview Jeff Heider's stunning widow, Maura, and glean information from her. If seduction is required to win her over, he will take this hardship in his stride too. However, his enquiries will just be dressing for the real challenge - to find a fall guy for the killing, which itself presents Warner with an additional dilemma. To satisfy Warner's moral code of conduct the fall guy must himself be on the wrong side of the law.

In Las Vegas, with Maura Heider proving receptive to his advances and unexpectedly falling for him, the enormity of the challenge becomes apparent. As his relationship with Maura arouses the suspicions of the Heider family, and the net tightens around him, he has only two choices - fight back or run. Or maybe there's a third option ...
