Introduction
You’re back. Are you prepared? The past is about to catch-up
with you.
You.
The hired-gun with a sense of loyalty; the assassin with a sense
of justice. And faith? What of faith? Trust in God, but carry a
loaded gun.
Bind yourself with mastery of weapons, and thoroughness of
groundwork. Know when to hold your fire - when to just kill
time. And when to strike.
Track down those that force you out of retirement. Seep
through the deep fractures of the world. Flow through the
quarters of sin, crime, greed and dishonour. Be certain 47, in
such places your enemies will hide. At first. Until the only safe
place is behind you.
You watch your back, number 47.

Chapters
Sicily
Spring comes early to the Gulf of Castellammare. The citrus
groves west of Palermo are already in fruit by the end of February,
and the Sicilian air is rich with the scents of lemon and orange.
From the sea, hillside villages are splashes of pastel jewellery on a
brilliant carpet of green and gold. The dome of the church of the
Carmine rises above the awnings of local market stalls, where
even-handed traders toil and prosper.
Y et above it all, the grasping shado w of the Cosa N ostra lengthens.
Ominous.
Merciless.

St Petersburg
Once called Leningrad, this old city has seen more than its
share of bullets and betrayal. Expect guards, criminals and
soldiers here to be well equipped, experienced and highly
suspicious. Old Communists vie with corrupt Capitalists for
control of the wide-open boulevards, where few can hide –
least of all foreigners.
This is difficult terrain, even for a trained assassin. Proceed
with caution.

Chapters
Japan
Mountains cover three-quarters of Japan, with the
larger ranges running through the centre of the
Japanese archipelago like a spine.
Towering above a beautiful lake and archaic templestudded town emerges the sacred mountain of
Kurokiyama – an inaccessible site visited only by the
occasional Shinto pilgrim.
An ancient, six-story castle, with ceramic tiled hogyo
roofing and massive stonewalls, looks down from its
strategic position high on the neck of the mountain. A
local shogun built it here during the Edo period – it is
a fitting setting for a 20th century oyabun like
Masahiro Hayamoto. From here he controls his yakuza
maneuverings and international arms deals.

Chapters
Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. A city running with
prosperity, luxury and incredible opportunity.
Populated by a teeming chaos of cultures, it attracts the
sharks of organized crime from all over the world. It’s a
feeding frenzy.
At the same time, reaching for the skies, spears of sterile
office buildings burst out over the new and the ancient
populace. And everyone is staking a claim for
the future.

Chapters
Nuristan
In a remote valley, hidden in the Hindu Kush
mountain range of Nuristan, lies a secluded
citadel. Currently, it’s ruled by a local khan,
Abdul Bismillah Malik - known as Al-Khabir
(The Big Guy) - and his fierce tribe of
warmongering mujahedin.
A minaret doubles as a watchtower - overlooking
the steppes, hillsides and nearby river. Anyone
openly approaching the citadel can be seen for
miles. This, and the solid brick walls
surrounding the citadel, seems to signal security,
but this stronghold has changed hands many
times over the centuries. A professional always
finds a way.
