John Mercer is ex-Special Forces, having served a double life sentence for the murder of his aunt and uncle. Sprung from prison early, he s introduced to the shadowy Lenny Jameson, a police officer retired on grounds of ill health . But John s freedom comes at a price. Jameson runs an unofficial operation with a terrifying brief: dealing with untouchable criminals and disorganising crime. And Mercer s role will be that of hitman. Killing for the state, John struggles to come to terms to his new life on the outside and the challenging relationships he s compelled to nurture with his new work colleagues Calum McKenzie, petty thief, chaser of girls and narcotics enthusiast, and Rose, the beautiful but duplicitous ex-policewoman, who s a past-master of using guile as her primary weapon. The Fixer presents us with a disparate group at odds with the world and with each other, as John is forced to decide if he s in, or out.
