Suzanne Foster wants to retire. Her boss wants her dead. After decades as the personal killer for criminal mastermind Victor Kemp, Suzanne finally quits. Not until five years later does Kemp discover how thoroughly she has deceived him. Determined to punish her, he tracks her to Wales to watch her die. Instead, he walks into a trap that takes the life of his eldest son. Believing themselves safe at last, Suzanne and her family relocate to London, where she hopes to find the peace that has eluded her for so long. Her son is engaged to a the daughter of a nobleman; Her husband has a good job with British Intelligence. Yet Suzanne struggles with restless dreams and the premonition that her nemesis has survived. He has: Kemp, though severely injured, is rebuilding his empire and plotting revenge. He is prepared to risk everything to end the former assassin. The trouble is, he may not be the only one. Suzanne has no choice: To protect those she loves, she will be forced to kill again. Assassins, it seems, can never retire.
