Every killer has a code. Every brother has a breaking point.

Robert and Emil are brothers, business partners, and professional assassins — if you ask them, in that order.

They take jobs through Heinzie, a scumbag broker with a Rolodex full of high-profile clients and zero conscience.

When a new offer comes down — 1.2 million Pentz for eliminating Senator Simon Bisset — it’s too rich to ignore. Four killers, one target. First to the body bags the prize.

But this isn’t just another job. Because Bisset isn’t just a client’s target: he’s Emil’s obsession.

The senator is tied to a conspiracy that reaches into backdoor surveillance networks, shadow governments, and a tech platform called Float that’s quietly rewritten the rules of truth.

If even half of what they’ve uncovered is real, this job is both a payday and a reckoning.

As Emil spirals into a violent crusade and Robert questions whether he even exists outside his brother’s cracked worldview, they’re joined (and hunted) by a motley rogue’s gallery: rival assassins like the surgically detached Nisha, the enigmatic Blackhawk, the duck-faced sociopath aptly named “The Duck,” and Renee: a too-pretty operator whose motives are as slippery as her aim.

Through Floridian meth labs, high-stakes meetups, digital breadcrumbs, and childhood trauma, Robert and Emil race toward a showdown they might not survive.

Twisted, violent, and disturbingly heartfelt, The Target is a propulsive noir thriller about paranoia, family, identity, and the kind of love that leaves bruises.

For fans of Barry Eisler’s John Rain series and Mr. Robot.
