The David Slaton series spans ten novels from The Perfect Assassin (2004) to Assassin’s Mark (2023). Slaton is a former Mossad kidon — one of the intelligence agency’s elite assassins — who has gone off the grid but can never fully escape his past. Each book brings a new threat that only his particular skills can address.

The series found its rhythm after Assassin’s Game (2014) reopened the story, with subsequent entries — Assassin’s Silence, Assassin’s Code, Assassin’s Run, Assassin’s Revenge, Assassin’s Strike, Assassin’s Dawn, and Assassin’s Edge — maintaining a steady publication pace through 2023. The consistent “Assassin’s” title format makes the series instantly recognizable on bookstore shelves.
