Meet the Assassin Who Never Wanted to Be Seen
In a genre often driven by spectacle, The Salesman by Richard Totino takes a quieter and more unsettling approach. This political action thriller introduces readers to a protagonist whose greatest weapon is invisibility and whose most dangerous enemy may be the very people who employ him.
John Anderson lives two lives. One is public and unremarkable. He is a respected international chemical salesman whose job requires constant travel and discretion. The other life is known to only a select few. He is a government-sanctioned assassin tasked with removing individuals who threaten national interests. He does not seek attention, recognition, or glory. His success depends on going unnoticed.
The novel opens by pulling readers into John’s disciplined and isolated world, then disrupts it with a single assignment that changes everything. Ordered to assassinate the Prime Minister of Canada, John is forced to confront the limits of loyalty and the cost of silence. What follows is a tense unraveling of political manipulation, hidden agendas, and betrayal at the highest levels of power.
Rather than relying solely on action, The Salesman focuses on the psychological burden of living without a true identity. John is a man shaped by secrecy, trained to suppress his doubts, and rewarded for his efficiency. As the stakes rise, so does his internal conflict, turning the story into a battle not just for survival but for control over his own life.
Richard Totino’s writing emphasizes realism and restraint, allowing tension to build naturally through character and consequence. The novel appeals to readers who enjoy thrillers grounded in believable geopolitics and morally complex protagonists.
With echoes of the lone operator tradition made popular by Jack Reacher and Jason Bourne, The Salesman offers a darker and more introspective take on the genre. It is a compelling choice for readers who seek more than just action and are drawn to stories where power operates subtly, and the truth is often concealed.
