About this ebook
A Lucas Davenport thriller by internationally bestselling novelist John Sandford
Clara Rinker is a pleasant, softly spoken, low-key Southerner. She's also the best hitwoman in the business. Lucas Davenport should know - she almost killed him.
Clara is now retired and living in Mexico with her boyfriend, the son of a local drug lord. When a sniper's bullet narrowly misses her and kills her boyfriend, the boy's father vows vengeance, but Rinker knows something he doesn't: the boy wasn't the target - she was. Now she is going to have to disappear to find the killer herself.
Davenport is drafted to help track down the missing assassin and, with his fiance deep in wedding preparations, he's happy to go. But he has no idea what he's getting into. Rinker is as unpredictable as ever, and between her, her old bosses in the St. Louis mob, the Mexican druglord, and the combined, sometimes warring, arms of U.S. law enforcement, this is one case that is only going to get more dangerous...
