The Taipan: The Professional Paperback - 2012

From the publisher

A hit man is a rare species in the human race. How and why does someone become a hit man? The Taipan: The Professional is the story of one hit man from birth to retirement. Learn of his early life in Rotterdam, Germany, his introduction and reasons why he chose this profession, as well as why he was successful. Why was this man so special in this unique trade and why did law enforcement fear him so much? What set him apart from all the others? The Taipan was born into extreme poverty. His birth was not acknowledged and he was a lost soul in the slums. Deserted by his parents, his only option was to become a survivor. Despite all the negatives, he did survive to become the notorious Taipan, the invisible hit man. His training with the German underworld, his term in Africa as a mercenary soldier, his self-taught education, his ingenuity and his meticulous methods made him a force feared by law enforcement organizations around the world, because they knew he existed, but could never catch him. Despite his profession, he did have a heart and three women played a major influence in his life. Finally, why did the hit man retire?
