John Milton

John Milton is the man the government calls when they want a problem to go away . . . but what happens when he's the one who needs to disappear? After a botched job leaves a bloody trail, government assassin John Milton does the one thing he's never done before: he hides.

But when the man looking for her is the legendary assassin Santa Muerta-Saint Death-that's a lot easier said than done.

John Milton has started to hope that he might have a future. He has a job driving a taxi around the streets of San Francisco. He has his anonymity and his solitude.

Especially when two dead bodies are discovered and the police start treating him as their prime suspect. Milton is a fugitive from the British Secret Service and a man in his position needs extra attention like he needs a hole in the head.

The Driver is a taut, nail-biting adventure which once again stars Mark Dawson's irresistible hero, the maverick ex-MI6 assassin John Milton.
