Maggie Black

When secret agent Maggie is framed for murdering the Mayor of London, she must delve into the depths of the criminal underworld to unearth the truth before time runs out.

When her old agency is hacked by an elusive crime syndicate, ex-secret agent Maggie Black is enjoying the carefree life of a civilian. Then she learns that the names of the agency's agents, past and present, are being leaked by the hackers, one-by-one until their notorious boss is released from prison. With the government refusing to negotiate with the blackmailers, she is forced out of retirement and dragged back into the perilous life of espionage she swore to leave behind. Her name is on that list, as well as those she cares about most. As the bodies of agents begin to pile up, Maggie risks it all to hunt down the hackers. From the war-torn streets of Somalia to the seedy red-light district of Amsterdam, she must race against time before her dark past ruins any chance at a future.

Maggie Black is settling well into life after being a government assassin. Finally content and deeply in love with her partner, Leon, she is ready to open her own secret agency where she can put her unique skills to use and help those in need-on her own terms. Getting out isn't as simple as Maggie had hoped, however, and her past comes back to haunt her, putting a stop to any plans for a fresh start. Nina, an old colleague-turned-enemy, is out for blood and returns from hiding in the most devastating way possible, shaking Maggie to the core and ruining any chance she had at happiness. Blinded by grief and overcome with rage, Maggie sets out to put an end to their rivalry one way or another. Tracking her enemy from the rural moors of Ireland to eerily familiar haunts in Russia, Maggie is on the warpath and hell-bent on revenge. But she must be careful and not let her emotions overwhelm her-because Nina is back in full force and she hasn't come alone...
