Descripción editorial
In this suspenseful and twisted thriller, a companion to Seven Crows, vigilante Killian Delaney returns to use her unique skill set to fight for the justice of those who can't defend themselves. Kate Kessler's novels are "impossible to put down" (Hollie Overton).
Killian Delaney has a skewed moral compass, a high threshold for pain, an unstoppable will, and she's just joined the Network: a group of well-funded individuals who help the weakest among us.
Two sisters have gone missing, and Killian has been hired to track them down.
The plan is straightforward: follow the trail, find the girls, and kill whoever stands in her way.
They're living in a commune in upstate New York, one that looks a lot like a cult. And while one sister wants out, the other adamantly refuses.
Breaking them free will push every skill in Killian's arsenal to its limit. But she's determined to get them home.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Kessler's overheated sequel to 2019's Seven Crows, ex-con Killian Delaney is happy with her new job with the Initiative, "a secretive network of gray-work specialists," who ensure bad guys get punished for their crimes. After Killian delivers a pimp to four mothers of his victims for vigilante justice, the Initiative tasks her with rescuing Hollywood celebrity Ilyana Woodward's two daughters, Dylan and Lyria, from the New York compound of Incarnyx, a cult masquerading as a self-help group. Killian goes undercover inside the compound, where she learns that the truth is not as Ilyana made it out to be and that both a drug cartel and the FBI have operatives within Incarnyx. Killian's mission is further complicated by Dylan's refusal to leave the cult and Lyria won't go without her sister. Meanwhile, Killian must take care to keep her parole officer in the dark about her work for the Initiative. An exhilarating pace helps compensate for a predictable plot, stereotypical characters, and a surfeit of graphic violence. Fans of two-fisted women bent on avenging wrongs will find lots to like.
