Twenty-six-year-old Nicholai Hel has spent the last three years in solitary confinement at the hands of the Americans. Hel is a master of hoda korosu, or \"naked kill,\" is fluent in seven languages, and has honed extraordinary \"proximity sense\"—an extra-awareness of the presence of danger. He has the skills to be the world's most fearsome assassin and now the CIA needs him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Americans offer Hel freedom, money, and a neutral passport in exchange for one small service: to go to Beijing and kill the Soviet Union's commissioner to China. It's almost certainly a suicide mission, but Hel accepts. Now he must survive chaos, violence, suspicion, and betrayal while trying to achieve his ultimate goal of satori-the possibility of true understanding and harmony with the world.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349869502768,"sku":"BDaan6","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49349869535536,"sku":"40aan6","price":19.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/aan6-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778113472","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-aan6","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
