A Quiet Man

By Tom Wood

Book Overview

One day a man arrives in town. Unassuming. Quiet. The assassin known as Victor is hiding out in a small motel in Canada after a job across the border. A few days laying low and he'll be gone and leave no trace behind. He doesn't count on getting to know a mother and her boy who reminds him of his own troubled childhood. When both vanish, only Victor seems to notice. Once he starts looking for them, he finds himself at odds with the criminals who own the town. They want him gone. Only Victor's going nowhere until he discovers the truth and to them he's just a quiet man asking the wrong questions. But that quiet man is a dangerous man.

A disappointment

I very much enjoyed all of the previous books in this series. This is an unexpected step back for Tom Wood, or at least his editors! Woeful ignorance of US geography (Chicago 40 miles south of Canada across from Lake Huron?), and key details that change between chapters (a town of about 5000 grows to 10,000 in a few days?) show poor editing at best, and is jarring in frequency. The premise could have worked if the story held together better. If you enjoy the Victor series, then just skip this one and hope the next (Traitor) returns to form.
