False Little Idol (Holiday Quick Kills Book 9)

Morally Grey CharacterVillain ProtagonistFemale Assassin

Most people spend Ganesh Chaturthi praying, feasting, and dancing in the streets—
I’m spending mine infiltrating a sex trafficking ring and killing a Bollywood producer.

The target: Dev Mehra—Mumbai’s untouchable king of flesh and fear. I was hoping for a simple, clean job for once. Instead, the organisation behind the hit has other plans—a message written in blood for half the world’s power players.

Now I’m wading through carnage, lost in the crush of festival crowds, and wondering if I just passed some twisted audition for work I’m not sure I want.

If you like ruthless women, targets who never see it coming, and thrillers that leave you breathless and bloodstained, with the scent of incense still in the air, False Little Idol will make you worship at the altar of Marin’s next kill.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi! Marin has been sent off to India on another assignment after the chaos of Japan (but it was a fun kind of chaos). Jane (Marin’s employer has actually given her info on the job for a change and all Marin needs to do is meet with a fellow South African named Rebecca. Simple enough, but as usual, the job is anything but simple. Her target is a high profile people trafficker, so she will have her work cut out to complete this job! The odds are against her and that’s just how she likes it!

Her another fun, quick read as wet get to follow along with Marin and Jim in the fun! If you haven’t read the witch kills series, there’s still plenty of time to join in and become an assassin almost as good as Marin. Be ready for anything!
