Black Dawn (Book 09)

She’d turned her back on killing. But killing hadn’t turned its back on her.

On the eve of building a new life for herself, ex-assassin Tess Williams makes a shocking discovery. An old adversary is back. Someone who is supposed to be dead. Someone who loves hacking up children.

Desperate to nail the killer at any cost, Tess storms through the city, riddled with guilt over having failed to stop this monster the first time around. But her hunt quickly turns into a fight for survival when lethal threats come from both law enforcement and the brutal criminals that lurk in the city’s shadowy underworld.

With the clock ticking, Tess battles on, frantic to uncover the mystery of how the killer is still prowling the streets. She blames herself entirely for the rising body count, so no matter the danger, she struggles on, desperate to bury him before he strikes again. And just when she thinks things can’t get any worse…

The killer snatches another child.

A terrifying realization hits Tess like a shotgun blast to the chest – to end the nightmare and stop this monster, she must either leap into the heart of darkness and betray her closest friend, or let the killer go free and watch more children die.
