A CIA assassin. A velvet voice. One last mission that could end the world—or set him free.

Nick Carraway is the CIA’s most elusive contract killer—precise, detached, untraceable. But beneath the cold veneer of a man who’s taken more lives than he can count lies a secret: Nick dreams of another stage. A smoky lounge. A slow jazz tune. A spotlight and a microphone instead of a trigger and a scope.

When the Agency lures him out of early retirement with a promise of true freedom, Nick reluctantly agrees to one final hit: eliminate Azem al-Nouri, a terrorist mastermind quietly vacationing in Amsterdam, where he’s plotting a cyber-attack more devastating than 9/11.

His cover? A week-long jazz residency at a red-lit club in the heart of the city. His contact? Eva Leclerc, the seductive pianist with a past she won’t talk about. As Nick sings to packed crowds at night and stalks his prey by day, he begins to suspect the mission isn’t what it seems—and that he’s not the hunter, but the bait.

As the clock ticks down and the city teeters on the edge of catastrophe, Nick must face an impossible choice: fulfill the kill order, vanish into legend, or risk everything for a shot at the life—and the music—he never thought he could have.

Slick, soulful, and razor-sharp, 'Kill or Be Killed –The Amsterdam Affair’ is a high-stakes espionage thriller with a noir heart and a haunting melody that lingers long after the final page.
