Blood of the Assassin (Assassin Series 5)
“Rauschenbach didn’t place a lot of value on art or expensive clutter, and his home reflected that philosophy to an almost Spartan degree. That wasn’t to say that he didn’t enjoy the finer things in life – he allowed himself a few luxuries, like the sixty-inch LCD screen television mounted on the living room wall and the twelve-hundred dollar espresso machine. But he couldn’t see the point of pouring money into signature couches or designer tables – the entire exercise seemed pointless to him, t...he pastime of the spoiled and weak.
The other reason that he chose to forego creature comforts was because of his vocation – he could never be sure that he wouldn’t have to run at a moment’s notice, leaving everything behind. As his career had progressed, that seemed less likely, but he could never know with a hundred percent certainty that this day wouldn’t be the one when any of a dozen nations’ law enforcement agencies came through the door with guns and cuffs.
From the outside, the cottage resembled any of countless rustic vacation homes owned by prosperous Europeans with a taste for warmer weather and a more relaxed pace, but closer inspection would have revealed state-of-the-art security equipment, belying the benign exterior.MoreLess
