Riona thought the job was over when the contract broke open and the truth started bleeding through it. Now she is moving from one safe house to another with Celeste Mara at her side, a woman she was sent to kill and never quite managed to stop wanting. The farther they run, the clearer it becomes that the real threat is not the aftermath of the hit, but the people who built the system behind it. Somewhere between bad cover stories, motel rooms, and one very persistent past, Riona and Celeste have to decide whether survival is enough. Because once the old world catches up, there may not be a clean way out.
