Even before The Day of the Jackal created the archetypal image of a professional hit man there had been no shortage of them in real life. Governments, terrorists, corporations, criminal organisations like the Mafia as well as private individuals have employed others to make their enemies 'disappear'. This book features some of their stories. It features accounts of the lives and careers of some of the world's most infamous professional assassins including Carlos The Jackal, The Zetas, James Earl Ray, Charles Dion 'Deannie' O'Bannion, Jack 'Machine Gun' McGurn, Richard Cain and Anthony 'The Ant' Spilotro among many others.
