Tarantula

MEET JOHN MILTON.He considers himself an artisan. A craftsman. His trade is murder. Milton

is the man the government sends after you when everything else has

failed. Ruthless. Brilliant. Anonymous. Lethal. You wouldn't pick him

out of a crowd but you wouldn't want to be on his list. In

this second dip into his case files (see 1000 Yards for a further free

novella), Milton is sent to Italy to investigate the death of a

colleague from Group 15, the secret assassination squad that liquidates

those considered to be impediments to the furtherance of British

interests. Milton discovers that the agent was involved

with the Camorra, the powerful Mafia clan that controls the territory

from Naples to the tip of the Italian boot. He identifies the assassin

as a man nicknamed Tarantula. Now Tarantula, and his boss, are entries in Milton’s ledger. And all debts need to be paid.
