A Death in Sweden by Kevin Wignall

Brief synopsis (no spoilers)
Dan Hendricks is a seasoned hunter of people. Usually, the contract is to find someone and hand them over to whoever pays him, but he has no problem with taking anyone out. Someone in Sweden dies protecting someone else, and Dan's company figures out quickly that he isn't who he claimed to be. He was a hunted man, with a secret. Dan has to figure out the dead man's secret before the big, crooked government agency does.

Why I chose this book
Kindle First

My personal opinion (the review)
I liked the story, and even though there's a ton of killing (10 in one day, Dan estimates at one point), I mostly enjoyed the book. But I can't recommend it. The language was too frequent. It added nothing to the story, I don't understand why it was included!

Warnings
Language: one character, Charlie, used terrible language, but no one else did
Violence: frequent
"Adult" situations: a couple instances, but they were brief and not detailed
Death: frequent, but not major characters
