Call me Seventeen. I have no other name, not any more.
Sixteen killers have done this job before me. Officially, I don't exist, but every government uses me. I'm the most feared hitman in the world.
But nobody gets to do this job for long. Because to be the best, you must beat the best, and there are rivals on my tail.
My days are numbered. But until then, it's one hell of a ride.

Crime Review
This is a fresh adrenaline-charged, and snarkily funny spy thriller with an explosive climax
The Peterborough Telegraph
Reads like a winning Amazon Prime Thriller pitch . . . utterly gripping from get-go
Irish Independent
The book takes off like a rocket . . . Brownlow is an accomplished screenwriter, and it shows
The Financial Times
The pace never falters a single inch in this high octane, breathless thriller. Lean, mean and thoroughly enjoyable
Crime Time
This is probably the most action-packed spy thriller that fans of the genre will read this year, with short busy chapters where conspiracies unfold at the rate of a particularly sharp shooting pistol dispensing bullets
Irish Examiner
Fresh and entertaining . . . it is no surprise it has been snapped up by Hollywood
Daily Mail
This high-velocity thriller seems destined for the big screen... thanks to British-Canadian screenwriter-turned-novelist John Brownlow's vivid imagery, ultra-detailed action sequences and elaborate plotting.
National Post
'Exquisite writing... the dialogue is pitch perfect... a book club title that is different from the usual
- grittier and very powerful'
Book Reporter
Brownlow tells the story with verve, wit and a good dose of cynicism from Seventeen's first-person perspective. His perhaps greatest feat is not letting the reader even question this lack of distance: We are trapped in the head of a killer - and we enjoy every moment.
