'I am an expert swordsman. And I am skilled in the business of death. I take no pleasure in my skill. Simply, I am good at it.'
1735 - London. Haytham Kenway has been taught to use a sword from the age he was able to hold one. When his family's house is attacked - his father murdered and his sister taken by armed men - Haytham defends his home the only way he can: he kills.
With no family, he is taken in by a mysterious tutor who trains him to become a deadly killer. Consumed by his thirst for revenge Haytham begins a quest for retribution, trusting no one and questioning everything he has ever known.
Conspiracy and betrayal surround him as he is drawn into the centuries old battle between the Assassins and the Templars.
The world of the Assassin's has become far more lethal than ever before.

One of the most ingenious crime writers around. Highly recommended
—— Daily TelegraphMankell is in the first division of crime writing
—— The TimesNot only an intriguing puzzle, but a moving description of a man trying to keep faith with a dead friend... This is the best aspect of crime fiction: a gripping plot plus the exploration of character and relationships that reverberate around murder
—— IndependentSo compelling that, at the end of the sleepless night it took to read, I blearily reached for a keyboard to search for Mankell's other titles
—— Mark Lawson , GuardianA wonderful debut, gripping from the very first page and not a word out of place
—— Frankfurter Allgemeine ZeitungA magnificent storyteller
—— Der SpiegelThe storytelling is poised and beautiful
—— William Leith , Evening StandardThe stories von Schirach tells here are compelling in their own right but he elevates them to something greater with his calm, precise narration. These are like 20 or more mini episodes of The Killing (acutally, they would make for an amazing television series). They are masterpieces in miniature. I cannot recommend them highly enough
—— Me & My Big MouthSchirach is a defence lawyer in his native Germany, and these tales of individual crimes read almost like a real-life case-by-case study
—— Lesley McDowell , IndependentMy book of the year: a dazzling double-bill exploring unusual criminal cases… hypnotic, heartbreaking prose
—— Christopher Fowler , Financial TimesCrime is a curiously beguiling collection of short stories
—— Marcel Berlin , The Times
