Another excellent stripped-back, razor-edge thriller from Alex Shaw' - New York Times bestselling author James Swallow
Killing for a living is easy, living for a reason is much harder
Meet Ruslan Akulov.
In the shadowy world of assassins for hire, he is known as 'Wolf Six'.
A Ukrainian raised in Moscow, conscripted into Russia's most covert Special Forces unit 'The Werewolves', Akulov is full of loathing for the country that built and then broke him. The only rules he follows now are his own.
Unable to shake the guilt of his past, Akulov has made it his business to seek out those who prey upon the innocent. The name Wolf Six is legendary - whispered by those who know it with fear. But when Akulov accidentally thwarts the armed robbery of a Chicago Bank, he pits himself against both the Russian Bratva and the CIA, setting into motion a spiralling sequence of events which will bring his past back to haunt him, and potentially turn his future to ashes'
His mission of retribution takes him from Chicago to Kyiv, to Havana and back into the US, where Akulov must stop at nothing if he is to remain alive. No simple mission, even for the world's deadliest assassin.
Praise for Wolf Six:
Wolf Six is a gritty, action packed adrenaline rush! A deadly start to a new series!' Alan McDermott
A master of the violent, jet-propelled international thriller which at times make Jason Bourne look like the innocent plus-one on a SAGA cruise. Mike Ripley
An action-packed page-turner, rounded out with doses of realpolitik and melancholy for what can be lost. I was gripped Antony Johnston
Wolf Six is a stunning piece of work. No-one builds tension like Alex Shaw. In the field of high-stakes international intrigue, Shaw knows his stuff and is at the top of his game. Humphrey Hawksley
Wolf Six keeps you raving for Akulov to escape the most harrowing situations and come out at the top when all odds are stacked against him. It's bold, strong, and unforgiving in its violent nature and an unnerving mission to entertain you. Kashif Hussain - Best Thriller Books
Shaw knows how to write an action-packed thriller and his latest is no exception. Fans of Eisler, Greaney or Wood, craving their next fix of deadly assassin action should reach for Wolf-Six, the first in an explosive, brand new series. It's seriously good. Matt Hilton
