Behind The Hands That Kill: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Behind The Hands That Kill" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Even professional killers need vacations, but for Victor Faust, his vacation in Venezuela is about more than relaxation and time alone with Izabel Seyfried. It is a chance for him to come clean to Izabel: to tell her the truth about why he sent her to Italy with his brother, the truth behind his interest in Nora Kessler, and about his knowledge of Izabels child with her former captor. But before Victor can spill his soul, reality proves that for some killers, vacations are just pipe-dreams. Attacked and kidnapped, Izabel finds herself stuffed in a suitcase, while Victor later wakes up imprisoned in a cage. In any other situation, Victor would find a way out and save himself and the woman he lovesbut not this time. When the identities of their kidnappers are revealed, Victor loses all hope, and begins the mental process of accepting his and Izabels last moments together. And Izabels final moments of life. As if his circumstances are not complicated enough, members of Vonneguts Order are finally closing in on Victor. And when they do, he comes face-to-face with someone else he once knew and loved, who could either help him, or make a grave situation much worse. Victors past has finally caught up with him: the women he has cared for, loved, and killed; the families he has destroyed; the unforgivable crimes he has committed. And now he must face the consequences, and pay the ultimate price for absolution. But when it is all over, Victor may not have the strength to pick up what is left and move on. Because the event changes him. Because love changed him. And because, unlike before when he thought it is was for the best, he cannot imagine a life without Izabel in it.

VictorFifteen years ago

There I sat, my face swollen, blood dripping from my mouth, and a beautiful young woman named Artemis Stone unconscious at my feet.

I was barely in my mid-twenties; Artemis three years younger than me. She had been my assignment for one year before this day: play the role of her lover, gain her trust, kill her father, and her mother, and her three brothers. The Order was testing me, I knew, as I sat slumped, bound by both ankles and one arm to that metal chair. But in what way was I being tested? I was already a full operative; I had surpassed everyone in my group; I was beyond assignments like the one with Artemisit was more my brothers job, to play a role and work from the inside. I missed the rooftops, the feel of the sniper rifle in my hand, the scope pressed to my eye, the moment I stopped breathing before I took the shot and played the role of God. The utter silence that followed.

Why was I here? And why was this mans face so familiar? I suppose the most pressing question I should have been asking myself was: How did I allow myself to get in this situation?

Youre probably asking yourself, the man who introduced himself as Osiris said, how the fuck someone like you could get himself in a situation like this. He laughed; his teeth were stark white against the backdrop of his mixed Haitian skin. I knew he was probably related to Artemis, and that was probably why he looked familiar. They shared many physical similarities: dark caramel-colored skin, black hair, dark brown eyes with a distinct slant in the corners, and high cheekbones that were severe and exquisite. Artemis was half Haitian half Venezuelan, one of the most beautiful women I had ever seen. Osiris resembled her. Another brother, perhaps? It was my second guess, next to a scorned lover, which I aborted early on because he did not fit the profile. But there was something off about the brother theory too: brothers dont usually want someone to kill their sisters. This Osiristhe name also similar to Artemiss in its mythological originput the knife in my unbound hand; he had been beating me for ten minutes because I refused to slit Artemiss throat. If he wanted her dead so badlyrelated or notwhy would he not just do it himself?

I could have killed Osiristwo opportunities passed me bybut I was not ready to kill him yet. I needed answers first.

The only way youre getting out of here alive, Victor Faust, Osiris said, grinning at me just five feet away, is by killing her. Why are you stalling?

Havent we already been over this? I said, taunting him. You are not very good at this, are you?

Nothing I ever said fazed him much; always grinning, his dark eyes backlit with the upper hand. I admitted it to myself as I sat there: he did have the upper handit was the only thing keeping him alive. As far as why I would not kill Artemis: I was not commissioned to kill her; no orders had been passed along to me from Vonnegut to take Artemis out.

Andthere was another reason, too.

If you want her dead, I offered, my head dizzying from the blows Id taken, then do it yourself. Artemis made a slight movement at my feet, but then she went still again; her long, silky black hair covered her face. Osiris had knocked her out cold when he stormed into the room and pulled her naked body off mine.

And weve already been over that too, Osiris said. Its not my job to kill her. He leaned back in his chair, lifting the front legs from the ceramic tile floor. He smiled and cocked his head to one side, tapped the barrel of his gun against his leg. Osiris was young, but older than Artemis; still wet behind the ears, and cocky, which I had not decided yet worked to his disadvantage or not. Cocky was never a good trait to have in the professional killing business, but so far Osiris seemed to manage it well. And that bothered me. Whether he was a professional still had yet to be seen.

It is not my job either, I came back, and then spit blood onto the floor because my mouth was filling up with it.

Not even to save your own life? he asked, cocking his head to the other side.
