Good News! Finally… a new book from Steve Hamilton, after a four-year hiatus.
HONORABLE ASSASSIN will be published on August 27, 2024 by Blackstone Publishing. It is the third in the Nick Mason series.
Here is the plot:
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 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.
Since Steve Hamilton split with St. Martin’s in 2015, he has only published three novels:
THE SECOND LIFE OF NICK MASON (2015) — just weeks after the split
DEAD MAN RUNNING (2018)
THE BOUNTY (2020) with Janet Evanovich
