Exit Strategy by Linda L Richards
A shattered life. A killer for hire. Can she stop? Does she want to? Her assignments were always to kill someone. That's what a hitman-- or hitwoman-- is paid to do, and that is what she does. Then comes a surprise assignment-- keep someone alive. She is hired to protect Virginia Martin, the stunning and brilliant chief technology officer of a hot startup with an environmentally important innovation that will change the world. This new gig catches her at a time in her life when she's hanging on by a thread. Despair and hopelessness-- now more intense than she' d felt after the tragic loss of her family-- led her to abruptly launch this career. But over time, living as a hired killer is decimating her spirit and she keeps thinking of ending her life. She's confused about the why of her new commission, but she addresses it with her usual skill and stealth, determined to keep the young CTO alive against the ever-increasing odds. Some people have to die as she discharges her responsibility to protect this superstar woman amid the crumbling worlds of high finance and future technical wonders. The spirit of an assassin-- and her nameless dog-- permeates this struggle to help a young woman as powerful forces mount against her.

* "[In Endings ], Richards combines a damaged protagonist readers will root for with a twisted, whiplash-fast plot filled with layers of moral ambiguityThis harrowing tale of love, loss, and the value of life is not to be missed." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Brilliant. Terrifying. Compulsively readable." Hallie Ephron, New York Times best-selling author "Provocative and powerful . . . Page after page, Richards ratchets up the tension, weaving tradecraft, disguises, and psychology into a riveting tale that peels back the layers of the soul. The prose is often lyrical, the descriptions of the human heart achingly accurate. It will surely stand with the year's best suspense thrillers." Gayle Lynds, New York Times best-selling author "Linda L. Richards' Endings grabs you by the throat on page one and doesn't let go until The End. The writing is crisp, and the story has plenty of whiplashing twists and turns. Endings is the confident return of a writer at the height of her powers." Matt Coyle, Anthony, Shamus, and Lefty Award-winning author "An unusually haunting thriller with a complex, seriously badass heroine. Endings brings you into a strange and dark world from page one, and then shows you the light. I highly recommend this book." Sheena Kamal, Macavity Award-winning author "[ Endings is a] tightly woven, fast-paced, tension-filled thrill ride full of surprises . . . an outstanding, brilliantly conceived crime novel."
