WAS AN ASSASSIN'S ROLE AKIN TO A CEO'S ROLE? BOTH NEEDED SOME SUSPENSION OF MORALITY, A WILLINGNESS TO DO THINGS THAT MOST WOULD NOT, OR COULD NOT.

After retiring from active corporate life, sixty-year-old Ishmael Dollah keeps himself busy with regular runs around the city, tennis at the club and his book club meets. Life is good-a bit staid maybe, but good. That is until, one day, he hears of his beloved daughter-in-law's rumoured affair. Suddenly Ishmael's perfect world is turned upside down.

Never one to give in, Ishmael decides to take matters into his own hands. He'll apply his sharp mind and ruthless boardroom tactics to plan not a hostile takeover, but a carefully orchestrated act of vengeance.

As he treads the fine line between right and wrong, blurring it to suit his needs, Ishmael realises he rather enjoys the process. Sixty Is the New Assassin is an intriguing blend of dark humour and suspense that will keep the reader hooked up to the very end.
