Publisher Description

Hailed by Douglas Preston as “a master storyteller,” Joshua Corin returns with another white-knuckle thriller featuring ex-FBI agent Xanadu Marx. And this time, payback comes with a price tag.
 
They call themselves the Serendipity Group, a charitable organization that helps victims take revenge on those who’ve wronged them. But when the group’s hit list leaks, the hunters become the hunted—and two innocents are caught in the crossfire.
 
A pair of newlyweds are waylaid in Atlanta after a bad storm disrupts their flight to Paris. They are stuck in a dingy airport hotel room—until a stranger insists the happy couple take his lavish suite. But the man’s kindness is a ruse: They are being used as bait, and soon find themselves prisoners of a maniac with a hacksaw—all because of a list of thirteen people marked for execution.
 
Ex-FBI agent Xanadu Marx doesn’t know how her name ended up on the list, but she’ll be toast if she doesn’t take herself off it. Now a civilian on parole after a career-killing mistake, Xanadu Marx supposedly has three days to live, and the question isn’t whether she has an enemy gunning for her, it’s which one. But when two wide-eyed newlyweds may have become collateral damage, Xana realizes that there are some sins that can’t be forgiven.

Fast and Fun Read

Xanadu Marx is a recovering alcoholic (one year), terminated FBI agent who is also a lesbian. She is the protagonist in this wild romp. People are being murdered and the police are investigating. A young honeymooning couple accidentally witness two of the murders because their plane was delayed and they were housed overnight in a plush hotel by the airline. They also, at the same time, see a list of names of those being victimized and Xanadu is on the list. She begins to accompany the detectives who are investigating the crimes. The story proceeds from there and covers a multitude of characters including Xanadu's partner, who is the nicest woman she has ever known. I won't go any further into the plot, but guarantee the reader will be riveted to its many twists and turns. Thanks to Net Galley and Alibi for an ARC for an honest review.
