"Beyond brilliant. A masterful masterpiece. A breathtaking puzzle of beautifully-written words that provide vivid pictures. A terrifying account of our world today. Fascinating. Captivating. Just an amazing work of jigsaw puzzle verbal art." Dr. Charles A. Steinberg Longtime Executive Vice President, Boston Red Sox "Hidden under a cloak of legitimacy, I have been pressed to deliver extraordinary service for my country. It has been a successful ruse. A premium blend of dark deception with just an aroma of truth." -Dr. Lily Robinson Dr. Lily Robinson is a brilliant physician with an encyclopedic knowledge of all toxins and poisons, and a penchant for stilettos. In an unforeseeable twist in her life, the United States Government appeals to her patriotism--and her knowledge of how to kill without bloodshed, to rid the world of threats to our nation. Emotionally blunted and flawed, she struggles to move between assassin and healer, yet still able to fulfill her competing objectives. Now asked to assassinate a terrorist threatening New York City, she quickly realizes the Russians have already released a deadly toxin in a surprisingly innocuous medium.
