The sixteenth book in the New York Times bestselling Elemental
Assassin urban fantasy series that RT Book Reviews calls, "An
extraordinary series...[containing] one of the most intriguing
heroines in the genre."
If you don't know Gin "the Spider" Blanco, you don't know dangerous
female heroines.
Irony 101--The Spider herself snared in someone else's web...
Another week, another few clues trickling in about the Circle, the
mysterious group that supposedly runs the city's underworld. Gathering
intel on my hidden enemies is a painstaking process, but a more
immediate mystery has popped up on my radar: a missing girl.
My search for the girl begins on the mean streets of Ashland, but with
all the killers and crooks in this city, I'm not holding out much hope
that she's still alive.
A series of clues leads me down an increasingly dark, dangerous path,
and I realize that the missing girl is really just the first thread in
this web of evil. As an assassin, I'm used to facing down the worst of
the worst, but nothing prepares me for this new, terrifying enemy--one
who strikes from the shadows and is determined to make me the next
victim.
