Spy thriller, older female protagonist. Helen recently retired from a government job. She expects to spend her days getting to know her adult children and grand-puppy but someone has other ideas. When a group of mercenaries invade her son’s home, Helen is forced to protect herself, kill three of the shooters and jump back into the espionage game. Someone clearly has it out for the retired government assassin. Action packed and intricate twists in the assassin’s botched retirement. The question: who was really target that night? An interwoven secondary story includes a vicious serial killer. DC is filled with government agencies and spies. Who can be trusted? Helen is 55 and not as agile as she used to be. At least that what hearing her say to herself as she dives into another covert situation. She still runs, chases, shoots and uncovers the enemy quite effectively. Intriguing. She’s impressively protective of her extended family. The 1st in a series and several questions left unanswered. I received a copy of this from NetGalley. Helen Warwick, 55, recently retired from the CIA and former assassin just wants to reconnect with her family and make up for lost time. Except, one can never really leave the service and when her son’s house is destroyed by assassins while she is puppy sitting, she is determined to find out who is behind it. This one strong, skilled, smart woman which makes a great character in this suspenseful thriller. I couldn’t put the book down and finished within three days. I was afraid since this was the beginning of a new series, that there would be an untidy ending. But no, the conclusion was satisfactory with enough fodder to continue in the next book. I look forward to that next chapter. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This taut, action-packed thriller introduces unforgettable heroine Helen Warwick, a highly skilled CIA assassin trying to navigate retirement, settle into a normal life, and reconnect with her family . . . in the midst of mortal combat. Retirement isn't easy for a former CIA assassin. For fifty-five-year-old Helen Warwick, it may be impossible.

But her plan to spend time reconnecting with her grown children has just been blown upâ??along with her son's houseâ??by hired killers. Why is she being targeted nowâ??and by whom? Years of eliminating the nation's enemies one sniper bullet at a time have earned Helen powerful adversaries. Then there are mysterious new foes, including a psychopath dubbed The DaVinci Killer, who wages a twisted war with a rival serial killer to turn murder into art. And when he sets his sights on Helen, she may very well become his next exhibit. From homegrown spies to Russian mafia hitmen, Helen's ghosts don't just hauntâ??they kill.
