I liked it. Here are edits I would make and the reasons:

1. "the Russian mansion"

I would just say "mansion" and either before or after refer to as the "[Russian Name] Palace" or something. Some place the president would hang out.

2. surprisingly hard recoil of the gun

"of the gun." is unnecesaary.

3. "Agency this is Trenton, it's done. Deposit my reward, in gold, to my usual account."

If an assasin were to ever make a phone call immediately after shooting a world leader (which he wouldn't) he would talk in code.

4. "resteless sleep. That night I slept like a rock"

I don't think you can do both.


Just my opinions...
