The Decoy

Being an assassin is easy—picking the right target is murder.

Alexandra Adair has a knack for making people disappear. Working for POSS—Point of Sales Strategies—a front with suspiciously cozy ties to multiple three-letter agencies, she's used to dangerous assignments.

Her latest? Slip into the heels of Kate Piper, a wannabe attorney (is there really such a thing?) at the powerhouse Washington, D.C. law firm Dunn, Martin & Luther. The firm's charismatic partner, Kade Preston, has one goal: take down Vince DeMarco, a slippery crime boss who always manages to stay just this side of legal trouble.

But when Alexandra discovers everyone's motives are murkier than their morals, she has to decide who really deserves the bullet.

Dark comedy, dangerous games, and a heroine who's as sharp as her stilettos—this fast-paced, two-hour mystery short read is a witty, action-packed page-turner.
