The Life and Times of Christmas Calvert... Assassin
It wasn't so much that Christmas Calvert liked killing people, he was just very good at it. A crack shot, he also possessed an unnatural ability to distance himself from his actions, to shut off all emotion when 'vanishing' his targets. His exceptional shooting skills soon brought him to the attention of Colonel Dansey, and when an RAF doctor classified Calvert as 'remarkably amoral', Dansey was left in no doubt that he had found a new recruit for The Button Squad.
