Book 2 in the Catherine Ling series. This is a spin off of the Eve Duncan series, which I am obsessed with! The first book which was #12 in the Eve series, Eve meets Catherine and helps her get her son back from a murderous Russian mafia head. I am looking forward to finding out if I like Catherine Ling as much as I like Eve Duncan. Only time will tell.
“It’s the deadliest poison known to man. He’s the only one who knows its true power. She’s the only one who can stop the evil.
The chase is on. . . .
Catherine Ling was abandoned on the streets of Hong Kong at age four. Schooled in the art of survival, she traded in the only commodity she had: information. As a teenager, she came under the tutelage of a mysterious man known only as Hu Chang—a skilled assassin and master poisoner. As a young woman, she was recruited by the CIA and now she is known as one of their most effective operatives. When her old friend Hu Chang creates a formula that’s not only deadly but completely untraceable, the race begins to be the first to get it. Catherine finds herself up against a group so villainous and a man so evil that she may not survive in her quest to protect those she cares about: Hu Chang and Luke—the son who was stolen from Catherine and only recently brought home safe. Using all of her formidable skills, Catherine Ling proves the age-old belief that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
