The Perfect Kill

In Man on Fire, A. J. Quinnell introduced Creasy, veteran and mercenary. In The Perfect Kill, Creasy returns. Three days before Christmas in 1988, a bomb blew Pan Am 103 out of the sky over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing all passengers and crew. The wife and four-year-old daughter of Creasy were amongst the passengers. Seeking his personal vengeance, Creasy finds the backup of power — a US Senator, whose wife also died on Pan Am 103; and of youth — an eighteen-year-old orphan called Michael. Ruthlessly and relentlessly, Creasy trains Michael into becoming a man in his own image. Trains him … for the perfect kill.
