The David Slaton series by Ward Larsen runs ten books, starting with The Perfect Assassin (2004). Slaton is a kidon, an elite Mossad assassin, whose attempts to walk away from the intelligence world never quite stick. Each book pulls him into another operation with international stakes.
Larsen’s military and law enforcement background gives the action sequences and tradecraft details an authenticity that sets the series apart from standard airport thrillers. The books have been published over nearly two decades, with the pace picking up after 2016.
