      Voici la confession de Harry Exton, homme de main, ancien soldat, mercenaire, tueur à sang-froid. Désormais au service des puissants adeptes du Jeu Mortel et des sensations fortes qu’il procure, il va découvrir le cercle des joueurs américains, leurs enjeux toujours plus élevés et leur besoin de spectacle sans cesse renouvelé. Mais Harry Exton n’est ni un simple « exécutant » dont on se débarrasse dès que la lassitude commence à poindre, ni un joueur. Il est un exécuteur que l’on paye pour faire un job dans un domaine où on a intérêt à être réglo et où on n’a pas de deuxième chance…Avec ses personnages cyniques, sans aucune valeur ni humanité, et sa violence crue sans fioritures, l’Exécuteur est un chef d’œuvre en trois parties, signé John Wagner (A History of Violence) et Arthur Ranson, qui s’inscrit dans la lignée des grands films et romans noirs, de Jim Thompson à Sam Peckinpah.
