Review Quotes:
"High tension? Yep. Funny? Yep, that too. Heartwarming? Without a doubt. Oh, and a major twist in the final pages. What more can you ask for from a mystery?" --Bookpage

"[Excellent] nail-biter . . . Hart's ability to generate sympathy for characters with so much blood on their hands remains impressive, as does his ability to match laughs with gasps. This killer series continues to balance thrills and heart like few others. " --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

" Three Hitmen and a Baby is a fun and fast-paced action-thriller . . . It's an often moving book that explores redemption, family, and whether one is completely free from the sins of the past." --Booklist

"Ridiculously funny and surprisingly touching, Hart's third Assassins Anonymous installment (after The Medusa Protocol) blends high-stakes action with humor as a trio of deadly professionals face their toughest mission yet. The best of the series so far. Both newcomers and returning readers will root for these former assassins as they try to reform themselves." -- Library Journal

"Hart has crafted a solid action thriller with humor and emotion, and as the pages fly, the intensity increases. At three books in, with all of them terrific, give this one a shot." -- FirstClue

The action is top-notch, the story is a page-turner, and the book itself is easy to read. Author Rob Hart has written a masterclass in how novels should be written. Short chapters, with no useless filler, just all story." -- Red Carpet Crash

"This is such a fantastic and clever series . . . With Three Hitmen and a Baby, Rob Hart delivers a third straight banger in this distinctive, entertaining and pulse-pounding series. It's well constructed, brilliantly executed, emotionally gripping, and fun as hell." -- Best Thriller Books

Welcome back to Assassins Anonymous, where family is everything and danger lurks around every corner.

Assassins Anonymous isn't just a weekly recovery meeting for reformed killers--it's also a family.

When Valencia receives troubling news that her brother has gone missing, she wants rush off to LA to find him. But she can't bring her baby girl, Lucia. Enter the other members of Assassins Anonymous--Mark, Astrid, and Booker, who offer to watch the toddler while she's gone. After all, they're three of the deadliest, most highly skilled people on the planet; what could go wrong?

Turns out, a lot. Shortly after Valencia leaves, Mark is summoned to the lair of Zmeya, a Russian mob boss calling in a deadly favor--she wants him to kill Astrid, his protege and friend. Mark refuses, but Zmeya reveals that she knows the identity of Mark's ex-girlfriend . . . and his son. Either Astrid goes, or they do.

Meanwhile, Lucia spikes a dangerously high fever, and when Booker and Astrid take her to urgent care, they realize too late, that their fabricated identities are a real liability. Also, they don't know Valencia's last name, let alone Lucia's. They can hardly blame the staff for calling the NYPD.

Suddenly the splintered group is on the run from both the Russian mob and the police, dodging bad guys and do-gooders while trying to find refuge in a city full of surveillance cameras--all without killing anyone. That is, until Zmeya captures Sara and Bennett, and Mark is ready to throw his sobriety out the window.
