"A shattered life. A killer for hire. Can she stop? Does she want to? Her assignments were always to kill someone. That's what a hitman - or hitwoman - is paid to do, and that is what she does. Then comes a surprise assignment - keep someone alive. She is hired to protect Virginia Martin, the stunning and brilliant chief technology officer of a hot startup with an environmentally important innovation that will change the world. This new gig catches her at a time in her life when she's hanging on by a thread. Despair and hopelessness - now more intense than she'd felt after the tragic loss of her family - led her to abruptly launch this career. But over time, living as a hired killer is decimating her spirit and she keeps thinking of ending her life. She's confused about the 'why' of her new commission, but she addresses it with her usual skill and stealth, determined to keep the young CTO alive against the ever-increasing odds. Some people have to die as she discharges her responsibility to protect this superstar woman amid the crumbling worlds of high finance and future technical wonders. The spirit of an assassin - and her nameless dog - permeates this struggle to help a young woman as powerful forces mount against her."
