Synopsis

Maura Nelson, who has a sophisticated background in science, medicine, and programming, has stumbled upon a way to execute someone using only the computers in her home office — silently, anonymously, leaving no trace of violence, so that her target appears to have died of natural causes. Maura tests her method by eliminating Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad, but this experience affects her so deeply that she doesn’t want to continue alone. She entices Jack Plymouth into a partnership to rid the world of those they decide “need to be dead.” Both a steamy romance and a cyber-thriller, My Immaculate Assassin raises disturbing and timely questions about the technology and morality of “idealistic” murder, carried out remotely.

Goodreads review by Lynne

Last night I just finished devouring "My Immaculate Assassin." What a novel! It certainly is not a simple story nor were, or I should say "are" my reactions because they keep evolving. So many layers and textures keep me rethinking and reinterpreting what did and could happen. It was truly a fascina......more

Goodreads review by Marisha

Another enchanting novel by David Huddle, and this one really scary. If Ian Fleming and a guy who really likes women, say, Willie Nelson collaborated on a thriller, and Willie got the upper hand, you’d have My Immaculate Assassin. The title doesn’t lie. But instead of characters out of a typical Jam......more
