Assassinations : the plots, politics, and powers behind history-changing murders / by Redfern, Nicholas,1964-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Ruthless killers and murderers for hire: they are here, there, and everywhere. They lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce. They terminate on command.
