Suggest me a book that is similar to Victor the Assassin

[FireAvocado]

I am looking for a Thriller/Action/Espionage/ book that is similar to Victor the Assassin.

Specifically, what I am looking for is an independent character who isn't bound to any government, country or agency. They should be like Victor. An antihero? I won't really call Victor and antihero but he acts in a way where he put himself first and therefore commits some - well - evil(?) maybe morally incorrect things.

Otherwise I would be also interested in a book like Bourne: a character that is "hunted down" by an agency.

Preferably, the books should be set in modern day.

Thanks!

Barry Eisler's John Rain series.

"Eisler's hero, a half Japanese/half American assassin named John Rain, is one of the most compelling series characters in recent fiction. Moral but heartless, a man with a terrible past and no certain future, Rain wrestles with two cultures and personal demons in a first-person, noir-on-steroids narrative."


Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan X series.

"Evan Smoak is a man with skills, resources, and a personal mission to help those with nowhere else to turn. Chosen as a child, he was raised and trained as part of the off-the-books black box Orphan program, designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence assets—i.e. assassins. He was Orphan X. Evan broke with the program, using everything he learned to disappear."
