An Assassin with no memory…
…A desperate mother. Sinister malpractice.
A sadistic surgeon hones in on his next victim. Anyone who crosses Dr. Thomas Philtzer winds up dead or vanishes. One of them is a mother trying to protect her daughter. Jessica Cooper is nine years old and Philtzer is bloodthirsty.
In a dingy Motel 6 on the outskirts of town, an assassin sleeps. The dime sized implant beneath his pituitary activates. His mind awakens like the safety of a gun being flipped off. He has no memory of who he is or how he got here. He takes solace in the singular certainty that is always with him when he wakes up – I don’t have a name, only a number – 917. I’m here to kill someone and when it’s done, I can go back to sleep.
An encrypted phone relays the details of his mission. Save the girl. Protect the mother. Put down Philtzer. The punishment must fit the crime.
