ABOUT THE SERIES

First Look:
       Adrian Hell is an assassin.
       He is mostly freelance for most of the time we know him but he did get his training courtesy of some quality time spent in the service of the U.S. military. Then more training and more service and more experience with the CIA. Then a serious falling out (for very good reasons) and then the new career removing people other people want removed.
       "Adrian Hell is an assassin. His name commands fear and respect in equal measure throughout the criminal underworld. But the former soldier is not without his demons. Desperate to forget a tragic past, he loses himself in the one thing he was good at: killing bad people he believes deserve a bullet."
