Twenty-six-year-old Nicholai Hel has spent the last three years in solitary confinement at the hands of the Americans. Hel is a master of hoda korosu, or \"naked kill,\" is fluent in seven languages, and has honed extraordinary \"proximity sense\"--an extra-awareness of the presence of danger. He has the skills to be the world's most fearsome assassin and now the CIA needs him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Americans offer Hel freedom, money, and a neutral passport in exchange for one small service: to go to Beijing and kill the Soviet Union's commissioner to China. It's almost certainly a suicide mission, but Hel accepts. Now he must survive chaos, violence, suspicion, and betrayal while trying to achieve his ultimate goal of satori-the possibility of true understanding and harmony with the world.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51374397325535,"sku":"9780446561914","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/vvm8tKgWvg9780446561914.webp?v=1789178902","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/satori-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
