The Accident Man by Tom Cain

Tom Cain, a pseudonym for a British investigative journalist, has written a slick thriller. The Accident Man, Samuel Carver, will arrange a death for the right price.

During the novel, Carver is hired by the "consortium" for two jobs. The second job in Paris is the basis for the novel. On August 31, 1997, the Princess of Wales is killed in an auto accident. The reader discovers that Carver was involved in that accident. His job was to eliminate an Islamic terrorist operating in Paris. His info is that the terrorist has plans for a terrorist act in England.

After the accident, Carver is involved in fast-paced violence throughout Europe. This is a spell-binding story - very brutal events. We are left with the question, "Does this change the death of Diana from accident to murder?"
