The 9th directive

About this book

"They are specialist and each has his own method. Sorbi is a strangler but never uses his hands... Quicky the Greek uses the knife... Vincent works wild. The Japanese, Hideo, is a technician. Zotta's specialty is the miniature bomb. Kuo uses the gun." The place is Bangkok. A Very Important Royal Person is on his way for a state visit. Somewhere in the teeming city an assassin waits for him. Only one person can track him down: Quiller--cynical, a loner, a man whose file bears the 9-suffix, Reliable Under Torture, a wolf set down to track wolves.
