Murder is the ultimate crime. But for some, it's just business.
"Hitman: Making Money on Murder" is Nick Razer's unflinching examination of contract killing—not as Hollywood depicts it, but as it actually exists in the criminal underworld. From organized crime enforcers to freelance killers, from dark web marketplaces to corporate-sponsored assassination, Razer maps the deadly ecosystem of murder-for-hire.
Drawing on court records, law enforcement interviews, and investigative journalism, Razer profiles notorious cases and the people behind them: the killers, the clients, and the intermediaries who connect supply with demand. He examines how much a life actually costs, how hits are arranged and executed, and why the murder-for-hire market is more active than most people want to believe.
This is true crime at its most unsettling—a journey into a world where human life has a price tag, and someone is always willing to pay it.
