A fast paced, page turning novel of betrayal, vengeance, and depraved secrets in high places from the New York Times bestselling author of the John Rain and Livia Lone series.When a joint FBI Seattle Police investigation of an international child pornography ring gets too close to certain powerful people, sex crimes detective Livia Lone becomes the target of a hit that barely goes awry a hit that had been offered to John Rain, a retired specialist in killings appearing to be from natural causes Suspecting that the FBI themselves were behind the attack, Livia reaches out to former marine sniper Dox Together, they assemble an ad hoc team to identify and neutralize the threat Rain Rain s estranged lover, Mossad agent and honey trap specialist Delilah black op soldiers Ben Treven and Daniel Larison and their former commander, SpecOps legend Colonel Scott Hort Horton.Moving from Japan to Seattle to DC to Paris, the group fights a series of interlocking conspiracies, each edging closer and closer to the highest levels of the US government.With uncertain loyalties, conflicting agendas, and smoldering romantic entanglements, this group is hardly a team But in a match as uneven as this one, a collective of killers might be just what they need.

I ve been a fan of Eisler s series featuring assassin John Rain for some time now I ve found him to be a ratherdeveloped character than some other fictional exterminators I also like the the fact that he appears to have at least some morals and shows appreciation for some of the finer things in life, such as a decent dram of whiskey More recently I ve also enjoyed Eisler s new series of books which have introduced Seattle PD sex crimes detective Livia Lone, a feisty and independent woma I ve been a fan of Eisler s series featuring assassin John Rain for some time now I ve found him to be a ratherdeveloped character than some other fictional exterminators I also like the the fact that he appears to have at least some morals and shows appreciation for some of the finer things in life, such as a decent dram of whiskey More recently I ve also enjoyed Eisler s new series of books which have introduced Seattle PD sex crimes detective Livia Lone, a feisty and independent woman who survived an horrific ordeal and now ruthlessly chases down perpetrators, often dispensing her own brutal form of justice.Here we first witness Liva unearthing an international child pornography ring before surviving an assassination attempt In the aftermath of this near miss she discovers that the order for the hit is likely to be linked to her current case and could even have been ordered from within the ranks of the FBI Meanwhile we catch up with Rain who, as it happens, has just turned d...
