ASSASSIN, PART TWO - The Ultimate Thriller

by Hugo N. Gerstl

ASSASSIN, PART TWO Forty-five years ago, a set of twins was separated at birth when their parents were caught in the crossfire between police and robbers. Today, five billionaires plot to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei, by hiring the most expensive killer in the world. Iran learns the vaguest generalities of the plot but they know that only one service in the world had the wherewithal to bring down the assassin—and it’s operated by a country Iran refuses to recognize—Israel. Nevertheless, Iran finally managed to borrow Israel’s — perhaps the world’s— most astute and respected counterterrorist, Ezra Caen. Unknown to the hunter and the assassin, since they have never heard of one another, let alone met, Caen one of the two twins born in South Africa nearly fifty years ago, is the hunter, and the assassin, known only as “Agrippina,” is the other twin! In this segment, preparations for the assassination begin in earnest. We follow the assassin as she demonstrates the precise and hypnotic details of the “tradecraft” involved in super-high-end professional murder in the Twenty-first century. As this second part of Assassin starts to roll toward its thunderous conclusion in the third part … well … that’s for you to find out when you keep reading the final breathtaking climax. Welcome to the bi-focused literary universe of Hugo N. Gerstl. One side of the coin, Historical Fiction, ranges from the story of the only female pope, to the magnificent American trio that helped found the Israeli Air Force; the other side of that coin features thrillers, such as the one you are reading now.
