After the success of Mongo Blanco, Carlos Bardem returns with The Maverick Assassin, a political novel of love, humor and death. Fortunato is a hired assassin, cultured, elegant and discreet. When he’s commissioned to eliminate a corrupt politician, he remembers his childhood and youth, how he felt violence grow inside and what he did to control it and use it, according to him, for his own benefit and that of others. But this sentimental education is only the beginning of a journey that will take you through the darkest and most violent scenarios of our society and will make you rethink his role in it. A decades-long odyssey through Madrid and settings like New York, Zanzibar, Baghdad, Stockholm or Morocco. And it’s also the story of a murderer in love, the X-ray of a couple. Will he be willing to sacrifice the love of his life to follow his ideals to end? Will this be his last assignment?
