What could go wrong when you’re trying to unravel a decades-old conspiracy?
As the current queen of the Ashland underworld, you would think that I, Gin Blanco, would know all about some secret society controlling things from behind the scenes. I might be the Spider, the city’s most fearsome assassin, but all my Ice and Stone elemental magic hasn’t done me a lick of good in learning more about “the Circle”. Despite my continued investigations, the trail’s gone as cold as the coming winter.
So when Finnegan Lane, my foster brother, gets word of a surprising inheritance, we figure why not skip town for someplace less dangerous for a few days? That place: Bullet Pointe, a fancy hotel resort complex plus Old West theme park that Finn now owns lock, stock, and barrel. At first, all the struttin’ cowboys and sassy saloon girls are just hokey fun. But add in some shady coincidences and Circle assassins lurking all around, and vacationing becomes wilder—and deadlier—than any of us expected.
Good thing this assassin brought plenty of knives to the gunfight …
Excerpt #9:
We
sat in the van, watching our mirrors. Sure enough, a minute later, that
same SUV cruised by us again. Only this time, the vehicle didn’t have
its headlights, or even its parking lights, on. It pulled over to the
curb and stopped—right in front of the mansion we were watching.
“Hello,” I murmured. “What do we have here?”
The
doors opened, and two people got out of the front of the SUV, both
wearing long black trench coats akin to Phillip’s. They were giants,
each one roughly seven feet tall with thick shoulders and broad chests,
most likely they were the muscle and bodyguards for whoever was in the
back of the vehicle.
Sure
enough, one of the giants opened a rear door, and a shorter, thinner
figure emerged, also sporting a black trench coat. This person also wore
a black fedora and had a matching scarf wrapped around their neck. I
peered through my binoculars, but the person’s back was to me, so I
couldn’t see their face, although from the size and gait, I did get the
impression that it was a woman.
“Some late-night visitors here for a hush-hush meeting with our old friend?” Phillip drawled.
“Maybe.”
One
of the giants squatted down. At first, I wondered what he was doing,
but then the woman in the fedora and scarf ran over to the giant, who
hoisted her up into the air. Ms. Fedora grabbed hold of the top of the
iron gate and swung her legs up and over it with all the grace of an
Olympic gymnast. Landing deftly on her feet in the yard on the other
side, she started striding toward the mansion with graceful purpose.
I
cursed, realizing that I was about to lose my one and only lead on the
Circle. I’d considered the possibility that someone might come here
looking for him, but part of me hadn’t thought that it would actually
happen since everything else I’d tried to track down the members of the
Circle had been a dead end so far. This was shaping up to be the rare
stakeout that ended in action.
“Not a meeting,” I growled. “They’re here to kill him.”
