- KILLING. A PROFESSION LIKE ANY OTHER A noir novel about loyalty, revenge, and the fine line between justice and brutality. Victor is no hero. He’s an undertaker who practices karate, rides a Harley, and learned long ago that violence—when applied correctly—solves more problems than it creates. He doesn’t brag about it; he simply sees it as a job. A profession like any other… except for the number of corpses involved. After years operating in the shadows of the law, Victor follows a personal code that only he understands. He favors an old-school revolver instead of a modern pistol because “revolvers don’t jam.” And when he needs silence, he doesn’t rely on fancy gear that’s impossible to get in Spain. He uses a potato. A simple potato jammed on the barrel—cheap, improvised, and perfect. “There’s no better silencer,” he says. Brutal, practical, and darkly humorous, it defines him as a character. He works with Gabi, a gym owner and unofficial middleman for people who pay to fix problems no court can handle. Together they take contracts from dangerous clients: mobsters, smugglers, scammers, and the occasional desperate fool. Victor doesn’t kill for pleasure—he fulfills agreements. Business, nothing more. Until business stops being business. Everything collapses the night two Georgian hitmen try to execute him inside his own funeral home. Victor survives, but the attack makes one thing clear: someone close to him wants him dead. From that moment forward, the story becomes a brutal spiral of violence, betrayals, and improvised alliances. A race against time to discover who ordered his death—and why. The reader enters a world filled with characters as corrupt as they are unforgettable: • Gabi, the lifelong friend whose loyalty may not be what it seems. • “The Ladrillito,” a brainless tank who solves everything by throwing people into dumpsters. • Renata, the Sicilian who smiles rarely and shoots often. • Tomás, the funeral assistant who literally sleeps inside coffins. • And the Calabrians, a mafia that never forgets a debt. Everything builds toward an explosive betrayal that will leave Victor near death and transform him into a man with a single mission. It’s no longer about money, contracts, or professional rules. It’s about revenge. It’s about pride. It’s about survival. With ferocious pacing, razor-sharp dialogue, and a sense of humor black enough to be uncomfortable, Killing. A Profession Like Any Other plunges the reader into the everyday logic of violence and the twisted moral universe of those who live by it. A novel where every action has a reaction—the third law of Newton turned into criminal philosophy—and where loyalty lasts only as long as it takes a revolver to reload. If you enjoy Chandler, Jim Thompson, Don Winslow, Tarantino, or Elmore Leonard, you’ll find here a thriller that doesn’t ask permission, doesn’t apologize, and doesn’t leave you the same. This is not just a crime novel. It’s an X-ray of the human soul when the moral brakes disappear.
