What if the woman you're ordered to kill is the one you want to protect?
Michael North is an assassin working in the shadows of the British state. He's the man they
call when bad pxeople need to disappear. He doesn't ask questions - because questions get you killed.
But now North has been ordered to eliminate British MP Honor Jones, who's digging for secrets that powerful people would rather stay buried. Killing her breaks North's code. Protecting her might get them both dead.
Whatever he chooses, it will cost him everything...
Killing State is perfect for fans of the relentless action and morally complex heroes of David Baldacci, Lee Child, Stephen Leather and Mark Dawson.
