I KILL: Vol.2 (André Warner, Manhunter)
Racked by guilt over his accidental killing of a young Italian girl, ex-Secret Service operative turned contract killer, André Warner, has effectively retired himself from his ‘profession’ and taken to drink and other palliatives, while sinking slowly into a mire of depression.
A contract in Tangier to assassinate an Arab drug trafficker lures him out of retirement and self-pity. Soon after his arrival he encounters attractive American widow, Clair Power, and her precocious sixteen year-old daughter, Lizzy. He embarks on a fling with Clair which brings him into conflict with a mysterious Dutchman named Rik de Bruin, who also appears to have designs on her.
Their budding romance is not destined to blossom. Clair disappears and Warner is landed with the role of de facto guardian to Lizzy.
In attempting to track down Clair, Warner crosses a line that brings him into conflict with the local police and he is deported from Tangier to return to his home in Andorra, with a distraught Lizzy in tow. When Rik de Bruin pitches up in Andorra and begins to take an interest in Lizzy too, Warner gets possessive the only way he knows.
It’s too late though for Clair and Lizzy …
