Ci vuole un uomo crudele per dare la caccia al male. E se Victor l'Assassino un tempo aveva una bussola morale, quell'uomo è ormai morto e sepolto insieme alle sue numerose vittime. Eppure ci sono individui talmente crudeli che, per eliminarli, persino lui accetterebbe di mettere a rischio la propria vita per ragioni diverse dal denaro. È questo il caso di Milan Rados, ex comandante paramilitare serbo sfuggito al processo all'Aia e ora a capo di una rete criminale a Belgrado.

Victor, con il suo ultimo lavoro sporco per una fazione dell'agenzia di intelligence americana, si è creato nuovi nemici potenti e ogni sua mossa può essere l'ultima. Vive braccato dai sicari di un intermediario a cui lui stesso dà la caccia, e da poco si trova anche nel mirino di Antonio Alvarez, un funzionario dell'agenzia di spionaggio americana che essendosi fatto strada fino a raggiungere i piani alti può finalmente scovare l’assassino che gli è sfuggito durante un’operazione a Parigi.

Victor sembra non avere passato. È risoluto, schivo, non si ferma davanti a niente, il che fa di lui un killer perfetto da assoldare. La sua prossima missione è raggiungere il sicario olandese Felix Kooi ad Algeri ed eliminarlo. Una volta portato a termine il suo compito, potrà tornarsene alla propria esistenza solitaria nella gelida Islanda. Ma la CIA, uno dei suoi principali committenti, ha altri piani: dovrà fingersi la sua stessa vittima e risalire a colui che ha assoldato Felix Kooi.
