Publisher Description
From the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, the inspiration for HBO’s True Blood, comes “a gripping, twisty-turny, thrill ride of a read” (Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author) following a young gunslinging mercenary on deadly mission through the American Southwest.
In a fractured United States, a new world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards. Lizbeth Rose has a wildly fearsome reputation but these wizards are desperate. Searching the small border towns near Mexico, they’re trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner believed to be a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin.
As the trio journey through an altered America—shattered into several countries after the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt and the Great Depression—they’re set on by enemies. It’s clear that a powerful force does not want them to succeed in their mission. Lizbeth Rose has never failed a client, but this job may stretch her to her deadly limits.
“Immersive, involving, suspenseful and intriguing, with a main character you’ll love” (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author), An Easy Death is a fast-paced thriller of the highest order.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Bullets fly and magic runs wild in the first book in Charlaine Harris’ Gunnie Rose series. The story is set in an alternate-history version of the 1930s, where the Great Depression rages but FDR has been assassinated and the Wild West is still in full effect. Against her better judgment, Harris’ heroine, Lizbeth Rose—a “gunnie,” or gunslinger—takes a job escorting two Russian wizards on a quest to save their czar. This sets off a bloody, fast-paced adventure that makes perfect use of both Western and fantasy tropes. Harris, the author of the long-running Sookie Stackhouse series, has given us another awesome heroine in Lizbeth Rose: She’s tough and damaged, and hell-bent on keeping her clients alive and her own body and soul intact.
