Product Description With some 66 hits under his belt, Tomislav Bokšić, or Toxic, has a flawless record as hitman for the Croatian mafia in New York. That is, until he kills the wrong guy and is forced to flee the States, leaving behind the life he knows and loves. Suddenly, he finds himself on a plane hurtling toward Reykjavik, Iceland, borrowing the identity of an American televangelist named Father Friendly. With no means of escape from this island devoid of gun shops and contract killing, tragicomic hilarity ensues as he is forced to come to terms with his bloody past and reevaluate his future.
Amazon.com Review 10 Rules for a Hitman to Live By, by Tomislav Boksic (aka Toxic) Toxic, the hero of Hallgrimur Helgason's The Hitman's Guide to Housecleaning, had a record of 66 perfect kills. Then came the 67th--an undercover FBI agent--and suddenly he found himself in Iceland with a new identity. Oops. Avoid this kind of careless error by following Toxic's handy tips. 1. Don't miss the target. People tend to get a bit upset if they notice you're trying to kill them. 2. Don't waste a bullet. You have to think about the environment, too--you really shouldn't add an unnecessary gunshot to an already noisy city. 3. Morning is for murder. Nobody expects a bullet for breakfast. 4. Don't kill a priest. He who kills a man of the church will be killed by a church. 5. Don't confuse killing and murder. Murder is for amateurs, killing is for the professionals. 6. If you have to take on another person's identity, never let it be a priest. With that collar around your neck, your sex appeal is gone. 7. When you're dating, don't talk about your job--unless you're overseas. Foreign girls are crazy about guys who kill Americans. 8. Embrace every new passport they give you. It's always nice to get a new life now and then. 9. Don't kill the wrong guy. Or you'll end up in Iceland. 10. When in Iceland, stop the killing. There are so few of them.
