More about the book

The #1 New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen delivers a relentless thriller featuring a ruthless killer and a woman determined to hunt him down. The terrifying Rico Chavez is cunning, charismatic, and has the means to get what he desires—Elena Kyler, whom he wants dead. Trained as an assassin, Elena has always relied on herself, but now she finds herself fleeing from Chavez and seeking help from Sean Galen. He understands her desperation, driven by a mother’s need to protect her young son from a psychopath father who would mold him in his chilling image. Despite Elena's inability to trust, Galen is committed to becoming her ally. However, they both realize that Chavez's power and wealth leave them with no safe haven and no one to trust, not even each other. As Chavez unleashes his assassins and uses his connections to those in power, the situation escalates into a war with no rules. Two shocking acts of violence reveal his willingness to go to any lengths. A horrifying trail of murders follows Galen and Elena, leading to a final confrontation. Chavez, a master of control, seeks not only to take Elena's life but to destroy everything she holds dear, pushing her toward the ultimate betrayal. By the end, he wants her to beg for her life.
