All her life, Leonie Fox was groomed by Marcos De La Cruz, head of the merciless black vipers, to be an emotionless assassin and his greatest weapon. In the midst of the most dangerous and blood thirsty rivalry in the underworld history, Ace Griffin makes a move against Marcos in an attempt to push him over the edge. In retaliation, Marcos sends Leonie, the infamous Red Assassin, undercover into Ace's Mafia to finally end him once and for all. But what if this is the one mission she can't follow through on? Story extract: The target tried to stand up but I placed my left blood red heel on his chest, over his heart, and forcefully guided him back to sitting in his seat. Keeping my heel there, I switched the batton off and let it hit the ground with a harsh clunk. I pushed the delicate material of the slit in my dress to the right to reveal my knife strapped to my thigh. I unhooked it and tossed it up in the air one time and caught it. Slidding my heel down the target's body, I rested it at his crotch. I slowly applied pressure and the target started to squirm in pain again. "I'll only ask you one more time, where is the money." Small beads of sweat started to make their way down his forehead as panick arised in him. He knows he's going to die whether he snitches or not, but I need him to die a snitch. I pressed my heel down harder and his whole body tensed up in pain. A scream tried to escape his lips, but was once again muffled by the gag. A tear welled in his eye and I knew he was ready to talk.
