Description
From Edgar Award–winning author Steve Hamilton, An Honorable Assassin is another terrifying thriller featuring the unstoppable Nick Mason.
He was released from federal prison to a second life as an unwilling assassin, serving a major Chicago crime lord until the day he finally won his freedom.
But that freedom was a lie.
Now Mason finds himself on a plane to Jakarta, promoted to lead assassin for a vast shadow organization that reaches every corner of the globe. This time, there’s only one name on his list: Hashim Baya—otherwise known as the Crocodile—international fugitive and #1 most wanted on Interpol’s “Red Notice” list. Baya is the most dangerous and elusive criminal Mason has ever faced.
And for the first time in his career … Mason fails his mission. Baya gets away alive.
There’s only one thing he can do now: to save himself, his ex-wife, and his daughter, he must make this mission his life, hunting down the target on his own. But Mason isn’t alone in his search, because for Interpol agent Martin Sauvage, apprehending Baya has become a personal vendetta. Sauvage is a man just as haunted as Mason. And just as determined.
Never have the stakes been so high, the forces surrounding him so great. Sauvage wants Baya in prison. Mason needs him in a body bag. Assassin and cop are on a five-thousand-mile collision course, leading to a brutal final showdown—and the one man in the world who can finally show Nick Mason the way to freedom.

One might miss the Alex Knight crime novels. And one might be surprised that Hamilton is throwing down thrillers ala Vince Flynn but this is series fun. If you are looking to have some time alone to get lost in a novel this is it. Plan on a rest break though you'll need it for this high octane thrill ride.

Action. A lot of action. A lot of hang on to your seat action. If you like action, you'll love An Honorable Assassin. Did I mention Steve Hamilton's latest Nick Mason thriller has a lot of action? Seriously, Hamilton reminds us with each book why he is an award winning author. Both his Alex McKnight and Nick Mason books are essential reads for any fiction lover. An Honorable Assassin grips you from the start and simply doesn't let go. Mason has a lot of challenges to overcome in this one--especially since he is no longer on familiar turf. There are new locations populated by new characters who Mason may or may not wish he'd met. However, I must point out there are some breaks from the action and Hamilton deftly handles those scenes. As much as this book focuses on action and adventure, the heart of this story is family. Thoughts of family is a constant shared by multiple characters in this terrific thriller. This riveting read will leave you hoping there's another Nick Mason adventure in the near future. Thank you to Blackstone Publishing and NetGalley for the advance reading copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

The perfect blend of action and mystery, with a charismatic protagonist and vivid descriptions of extravagant set pieces that put you in the action. One of the best thrillers of the year.

Love this series and it’s been too long since the last one! Great book with non stop action and I cannot wait until the next Nick Mason thriller.
Doug Y, Educator
Nice to have Nick Mason back; it’s been too long since he led us on a great adventure. The wait was worth it as our hero travels halfway around the world to carry out an assassination. He’s in competition with an Interpol agent who’s chasing the same bad guy.several other subplots keep the action intense and make the reader look for Nick’s next adventure.
Chris D, Librarian
It's been 7 years. Nick Mason is back. An absolute scorcher of a thriller and too long of a wait. Great read.
Julie C, Reviewer
Great thriller by Hamilton.
Mason is a hit man under the thumb of a shadow ops leader who prefers to remain anonymous. He was released from prison only to be taken into the organization and controlled by threats to his ex wife and their daughter.
In Jakarta, he is given his new assignment to kill an internationally known and feared violent criminal leader named Baya and tracks him as he moves about, failing in his mission to kill him on a couple of occasions.
In his quest, he meets up with an Interpol agent who also wants Baya dead and together they work to hunt him down.
An absolutely riveting thriller with non stop action, mayhem and intriguing side stories that completely
complement and enhance the main plot. The characters are finely tuned and their placement within the story, well crafted.
My first Nick Mason story but more than ready for the next one up.

It's been a long time between Nick Mason books. The first was in 2016 and the second a year later. But finally we are given a third in the series.
In this third installment of the Nick Mason series, Nick has spent 5 years in a max security prison when he is offered a deal to get out of there many years early but there’s always a catch. Nick is sent to Jakarta to hunt down and kill a man known as The Crocodile. The kill goes horribly wrong and now Nick must do everything he can to save himself, his child, and his ex wife.
Nick is now on a collision course with Interpole agent Martin Sauvage. Mick wants The Crocodile dead and Sauvage wants him in a cell.
It’s a war of wills to see who comes out on top.

I would like to thank Netgalley, Blackstone Publishing and Steve Hamilton for the chance to read An Honorable Assassin. Steve Hamilton is a new Author for me. I am going to read the rest of this series because I couldn't put this one down. The main Character Nick Mason is excellent. I found this book to be one where if I closed my eyes I could imagine the events as if I was there. This is a must read if you want twists and lots of action. The way it ended is something that I wonder why it happens but then realized it does probably happens in real life. This is a must read book.
