Synopsis

One last mission. One last song. One final chance to choose the life he wants—or end the world as we know it.

Nick Carraway was the CIA's favorite secret weapon—a contract killer who never misses. But after a decade of bloodshed, he wants out. Not for peace. For jazz.

Trading silenced pistols for a mic in smoky clubs, Nick reinvents himself as 'Nico Falcon', a lounge singer hiding in plain sight. But when a ghost-level terrorist resurfaces in Amsterdam with plans for a cyberattack worse than 9/11, the Agency offers him one final deal: take the shot, and walk free with a recording contract.

Behind the velvet curtains of 'Club Nocturne', the music is smooth, but the mission gets deadly. Eva Leclerc—ex-Mossad pianist with secrets of her own—might be his only ally... or the one sent to kill him when the last note plays.

With the CIA watching, the enemy listening, and a weaponized song wired to detonate on his final encore, Nick must choose: play their game—or rewrite the ending.

If he sings it their way, millions could die. If he doesn't, he'll never sing again. Most killers are lookin for an exit... he's just looking for a mic!

Perfect for fans of Brad Thor, Jason Matthews, and Lee Child, Kill or Be Killed – The Amsterdam Affairis a cinematic spy thriller laced with noir style, romantic heat, and pulse-pounding intrigue.
