YMMV / Point Blanc

• Magnificent Bastard: The Gentleman is an assassin-for-hire, named such because of his tendency to gift flowers to the families of his victims. In the first chapter of "Point Blanc", he successfully kills billionaire Michael J. Roscoe by hacking into his office building's mainframe, moving his elevator up a floor, and replacing it with a hologram, causing him to "accidentally" fall to his death. By the time Roscoe's body is found, the Gentleman has long since disappeared, making him the rare Alex Rider villain to get away with his crimes.
