Martin Booth

Overview

In a quiet Italian village, he is known as Signor Farfalla, Mr Butterfly. This discreet gentleman dedicates his days to studying rare butterflies. However, Farfalla's true profession is far more dangerous; he is an artisan of deadly weapons, crafting them for assassins. He has decided that his next assignment will be his final one, after which he hopes to settle into the peaceful life he cherishes in his adopted village, free from constant vigilance. Yet, a dangerous conspiracy is tightening its grip around him.
