The Former Assassin
Suzanne Foster wants to retire.
Her boss wants her dead.
After years as Victor Kemp’s off-the books killer, Suzanne finally quits. Five years later, Kemp tracks her to Wales to punish her for an old betrayal. Instead, he walks into a trap.
Believing themselves safe, Suzanne’s family relocates to London. Instead of finding peace, she struggles with her fears that her nemesis lives.
She’s right. Though severely injured, Kemp is bent on revenge and prepared to risk everything to end the former assassin. And he may not be the only one. Suzanne knows that to protect her loved ones, she will be forced to kill again. Assassins, it seems, can never retire.
