She never killed anybody that didn't have it coming....
Six months before aging out of foster care, 17-year-old Tori meets a
local hustler who makes her an offer she can't refuse. At first, she
enjoys the benefits of being Ricky's "new girl," but it's not long
before he's looking for a return on his investment. When Tori's first
job goes horribly wrong, she finds herself more indebted to Ricky than
ever.
After a confrontation with Ricky spirals out of control, Tori goes on
the run. Halfway across the country, she meets Dana, a street-wise woman
in a similarly desperate situation. The two become quick friends and
hatch a plan to move to Reno. But sometimes those closest to you are the
ones who hurt you the most, and soon Tori is on her own again - and out
for revenge.
To survive in this live by the gun, die by the gun world, Tori must
learn how to fend for herself. She'll need smarts the streets could
never teach her. Enter Buck, an older man in possession of a certain set
of skills that could help Tori. But as life has taught her, nothing
comes free, or easy. Buck will teach her his ways, but he'll need
something from her first....
In The Confessional, Ashley and JaQuavis, acclaimed authors of the
New York Times best-selling Cartel series, introduce their most
ruthless hero yet - a charismatic killing machine intent on purging a
closet full of skeletons as the walls are closing in.
