CHAPTER 40

Gocek, Turkey

Finn always tried to keep business separate from pleasure. He made a point of never taking his family to the location of a job he’d done. Of course, there were exceptions to the rule. Some major cities couldn’t be avoided. Ireland was home. Still, the last thing he imagined was to come to this small town of three thousand and immediately start planning a trip with his family for next year.

Set on the southwest coast of Turkey and at the deepest point of the Gulf of Fethiye, Gocek was a gorgeous Mediterranean village. Nestled at the foot of pine-covered mountains, the town overlooked a number of small islands, scattered about the bay like jewels in a blue satin box. In short, the place was brilliant.

Finn could already see himself fishing with Mick and the twins while Kelly wandered in and out of the shops in the center. The place had plenty of good places to eat, and fine places to stay. This was exactly the vacation they needed as a family, some time away from the everyday drudgery.

This was truly what Mick needed, Finn thought. The lad needed time away from the bloody lowlifes he called his mates.

And after this contract, he was done with it all. Then, he and Kelly could use a little bit of celebrating.

The sight of the slick powerboat cruising along the sparkling waters from the marina jarred Finn out of his retirement planning mode. He glanced at his watch and opened the folder in his laptop case. His target’s picture was right on top.

As quaint as the village of Gocek could be for vacationing tourists, it wasn’t the ideal location for a hit. No hustle and bustle of the city. No crowds that would make one go unnoticed. No skyscrapers. Finn had to change some of the details. He had to shadow the target for days before picking the time and place.

Utku Ahmet was vacationing in the affluent waterfront town with his wife and infant daughter. They were staying in a private property on a hill overlooking the marina. The villa offered no clear range area where Finn could make his shot.

After a few days in Gocek, though, Finn was familiar enough with Ahmet’s routines. There was one thing that the young Turk enjoyed every evening. Making the most of the unseasonably warm January weather, each night Ahmet would take his wife and daughter out into the harbor to watch the sunset.

Finn knew it was his best opportunity, but the shot itself presented a few difficulties. First, he had to set up on a hill above the harbor. At almost 1200 meters, the distance was greater than he preferred. The wind variable would be a factor, as well, but luckily, the strong breeze was coming directly at him over the water tonight.

The problem was really how to get clear after the shot. To get out without a problem, Finn knew he had to make it a clean shot, in spite of the distance, while the Turk was offshore.
