Synopsis
Gin Blanco, the Spider, is Ashland's most feared assassin and its supposed underworld queen. Her quiet dinner with friends is interrupted when someone starts targeting Stuart Mosley, the president of First Trust bank. Gin investigates the attacks and the trail leads to the Circle, a secret group behind much of the city's crime and corruption. It also leads to a dangerous new enemy from her past who wants her dead. Gin must protect the banker, work out what the Circle is planning, and face the person from her history who has come back to Ashland for her. The novel is the seventeenth book in Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassin series, set in the city of Ashland.
