"Retired assassin Adrian Hell...." That name right there is enough to never want to read anything by this author. "...now runs a bar in rural Texas. But after strangers arrive to recruit him for a job, he’s drawn inexorably into a plot involving a sinister government conspiracy." A retiree is called back into the saddle? It's been done to death. And we're supposed to root for a murderer? No. Sorry, but no. So what does a retired assasin do - murders people for a hobby? And isn't every government conspiracy sinister? Or are some actually quite nice once you get to know them? Barf.
