From two-time Edgar Award–winning author Steve Hamilton, An Honorable Assassin is another terrifying thriller featuring the unstoppable Nick Mason.
He was released from federal prison to a second life as an unwilling assassin, serving a major Chicago crime lord until the day he finally won his freedom.
But that freedom was a lie.
Now Mason finds himself on a plane to Jakarta, promoted to lead assassin for a vast shadow organization that reaches every corner of the globe. This time, there’s only one name on his list: Hashim Baya—otherwise known as the Crocodile—international fugitive and #1 most wanted on Interpol’s “Red Notice” list. Baya is the most dangerous and elusive criminal Mason has ever faced.
And for the first time in his career … Mason fails his mission. Baya gets away alive.
There’s only one thing he can do now: to save himself, his ex-wife, and his daughter, he must make this mission his life, hunting down the target on his own. But Mason isn’t alone in his search, because for Interpol agent Martin Sauvage, apprehending Baya has become a personal vendetta. Sauvage is a man just as haunted as Mason. And just as determined.
Never have the stakes been so high, the forces surrounding him so great. Sauvage wants Baya in prison. Mason needs him in a body bag. Assassin and cop are on a five-thousand-mile collision course, leading to a brutal final showdown—and the one man in the world who can finally show Nick Mason the way to freedom.

Reviews
“Whatever he writes, I’ll read. Steve Hamilton’s that good.”
“As original as any writer I’ve ever read, Hamilton once again reinvents himself and the genre with another wonderful character and story.”
“Steve Hamilton has delivered a fascinating new character.”
“[Hamilton’s] heart and history and best-known character hail from Michigan, and he’s on the short list of the most successful crime and mystery novelists we can lay claim to.”
“The story is grand, immersive, with characters dressed to the nines and adrenaline-pumping action. Even though I hadn’t read the previous Nick Mason thrillers beforehand, I was easily hooked onto Hamilton’s prose that makes all that happens in this narrative palpable with energy and enthusiasm. You’re going to zoom to the ending even as you try to slow down, but the action and twists keep beckoning you to read just one more page and then you’re down the rabbit hole.”
“A game changer. Nick Mason is one of the best main characters I’ve read in years. An intense, moving, absolutely relentless book—it will grab you from the first line and never let go.”
“Steve Hamilton is on his third action adventure starring Nick Mason, a criminal turned assassin-against-his-will for shadowy and highly illegal organizations.”
