The breakneck thriller that inspired TV sensation Killing Eve,
starring Sandra Oh, "unlike any other spy drama you've seen" (Daily
Beast).
Villanelle (a codename, of course) is one of the world's most skilled
assassins. A catlike psychopath whose love for the creature comforts of
her luxurious lifestyle is second only to her love of the game, she
specializes in murdering the world's richest and most powerful. But when
she murders an influential Russian politician, she draws a relentless
foe to her tail.
Eve Polastri (not a codename) is a former MI6 operative hired by the
national security services for a singular task: to find and capture or
kill the assassin responsible, and those who have aided her. Eve, whose
quiet and otherwise unextraordinary life belies her quick wit and keen
intellect, accepts the mission.
The ensuing chase will lead them on a trail around the world,
intersecting with corrupt governments and powerful criminal
organizations, all leading towards a final confrontation from which
neither will emerge unscathed. Codename Villanelle is a sleek,
fast-paced international thriller from an exciting new voice in fiction.
