Book Challenge Update: The double tap, The Rescue and The Monk who sold his ferrari

The Double Tap by Stephen Leather (54/100)

The assassin- the world's most successful contract killer- ice-cool, accurate and elusive. An anonymous professional with a unique calling card- one bullet in the head and one in the chest for each of his targets.
The Judas goat- an ex-member of the SAS, Mike Cramer is the perfect sacrificial bait. When the FBI discover the next name on the assassins hit list, Cramer is set up to take his place.
The Wild Card- Cramer's past has caught up with him. Ex-IRA extremist Dermott Lynch blames Cramer for his lover's death and he's out for revenge.
As Cramer trains for the most dangerous mission in his career, Lynch hunts down his sworn enemy. And the unknown assassin silently closes in on his target. 
The players are in position for the final game....

My rating: 2.5/10

My Comment: Confusion. That is the only word i can think of to describe this novel. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to read a book like this. But I didn't enjoy it at all. I recommend it to those who enjoy action and thriller novels.
