John Sharp, a.k.a. One Eyed Jack, is a man on the lookout for people just like you and me. And as blackmailers go, he’s as professional as they come. He’s a full-time snoop, but he’s not for hire - he’s on the hunt. His days consist of discovering, documenting, contacting and then collecting from his various targets. And that target could be you. Think of him as a spider that takes nest in a web of your own making. But he isn’t a blood sucker, he’s just a man who knows how to keep a secret - for a price.

The scope and reality of this final volume in the Bearth Trilogy is happening around you right now in the daily news. The wars, the religious genocide, the economic and political corruption are all real. The story is true. The cataclysms are possible. The places are real. None of the names have been changed, because they are all guilty. Only the characters of the story are created to carry you through the events at the ground level. When you finish this final volume of the trilogy, you will never look at life or death the same again. Are you ready for the change?

An assassin with a heart
Ian is an assassin who is tasked with killing a politician. However, all isn't as it seems, after researching his intended victim, he finds there's nothing bad about him, in fact, he is all good. The group he works for only takes out really bad guys.
So what does he do? He's in a quandry. He starts digging to find out who put the hit on the politician. Things are further complicated when he meets Jenny at the hotel he's staying at. Things move quickly between them.
I really liked this book, it's a different genre to what Craig Martelle usually writes and I will definitely be reading/listening to the next book.

this weird genre
There are so many books like this one being churned out nowadays; the reviews always mention Reacher or Rapp or other lone wolf righter of wrongs, and yes, this is yet another effort to create a one-man-wrecking-ball hero on a noble of unasked-for quest . . . but like so many other pale imitations of an idea that has long since been run into the ground, this one fails on every imaginable level.
The stiff, childish prose is only accentuated y the reader who has only one cadence: five words together, followed by a pause, regardless of punctuation, like a small dog panting over small exertions.
And of course our hero must be attractive to the fairer sex, but of course not a cad or a heel. No, he has refined tastes, selecting the not-skinny young woman in the herd of friends cruising for men, and of course he treats the not-skinny woman with all the reverence normally reserved for some Arthurian romance.
So I could of course go on, but why would anyone read any farther This book follows a pattern of such things, kind of a bridge between an Xtian romance and a sordid thriller, I suppose . . . representing a reality so at odds with real life as to constitute a fantasy, but a peculiarly sterile one, creating a world that is supposed to be threatening enough to require a hit-man, but a world (and hitman) operating on such a level of saccharine inoffensiveness as to be not worth saving.

I Kept Waiting for the Shoe to Drop!
HOLY MOLY what an entertaining read! Seriusly, I know what you may be thinking, an entertaining story including killing and the likes? But yes, it's true. I loved meeting Ian and learning how he views the world. I thought for sure I had it all figured out. I KNEW what would happen but I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong AND entertained. Thank you for this series! I can't wait for the next. :-)
