Newest First Line

I'm back to reading a Barry Eisler novel. I have loved these in the past (see here) and based on the fact that not even a quarter of the way in I've already run across the word "vertiginous" I'm willing to bet I like this one too.

That being said, this is the first line:


I’VE NEVER LIKED doing a job in a new place. You don’t know how to get in and out undetected, you don’t know what tools you’ll need to access the target, you don’t know where you’ll stick out and where you’ll be able to fade into the background or disappear in a crowd. 

Eisler, Barry - The Last Assassin (Onyx Novel)

Not a great or thrilling first line, but if you know that you're reading about an assassin it does make one think about some of that person's needs, characteristics and desires.
