The Designer
by Greg E. Allen

---

Charlie Martin is an idealistic young landscape architect fresh out of college. He dreams of finding ways to provide a better future for all humankind. His first client, a wealthy businessman with an international organization, offers him a parallel profession of being a paid assassin using his design profession as a cover. Charlie agrees, but he weaves the two professions together like a magician. He keeps the obvious in focus while secretly propelling his own ideals and vision into action. Charlie’s skills at designing assassinations merits his code name, the Designer, yet his real design baffles everyone including the FBI, and offers the world so much more.
