The book People Die starts with JJ who is 29 and the at the peak of his career. He has a girlfriend (even though he’s not sure she’s the one), a good job and money isn’t a worry. Of course, his job is not like other jobs – JJ is a contract-killer. He’s working freelance and has built his reputation by being discreet and professional who doesn’t cause trouble. That all changes when after disposing of a mark he finds himself attracted to the man’s beautiful companion and let’s her go – a big no-no in this business. The events that follow will lead him to re-evaluate his whole life and career choice.
To Die In Vienna is one of Wignall’s more popular books. It sees Freddie Makin as a spy for hire who has been watching Jiang Cheng for a year. It’s a job, but it seems very boring as Cheng is living a very normal life. Makin never asks questions about who is paying him or why, but when someone is sent to kill him – everything changes. Freddie must go on the run and he must figure out what exactly he saw that made him a wanted man before it’s too late.
