Novichok
The Novice Assassin
by Ray Torbiak


A surgeon becomes an unwilling patient with his own fatal diagnosis. A shadowy transnational organization reaches out to him with an offer: to trade their experimental miracle cure for his services as a medical assassin. Unable to face oblivion, he accepts their offer and is deployed to perform one final house call. Follow Dr. Joe through training, fear, betrayal, and danger as he zeroes in on his target.
