Description
Ice-cold assassin Catalina Bennett wants a Faberge egg. A CIA funded venture-capital investment firm wants to get the mysterious product they’ve been funding. Mother, Catalina’s handler, wants her dead. CIA operative Jim Campbell wants to catch her. And all her father Frank, a retired assassin, wants is for his daughter not to shoot his neighbors.
The Family Girl introduces Catalina Bennett as one of the
deadliest and most effective assassins in the world, bred to kill by a quiet
and secluded Sicilian Famiglia. Her success is illustrated by an extensive
collection of art and Christian Louboutin shoes.
Her latest job seemed like an easy way to
procure a fabulous Faberge egg for her extensive collection, but Catalina ended
up opening Pandora’s Box when she learned that the mark was an asset for
ICtech, a venture-capital investment firm funded by the CIA. Soon she is on the
run, being hunted by the veteran intelligence agent, Jim Campbell.
She takes refuge with her father in the
suburbs of Chicago, and discovers that dealing with the neighbors can be just
as dangerous as dodging bullets. Using her network of connections, spearheaded
by the imposing Eddie Washington – her childhood friend turned arms dealer –
Catalina begins putting together the pieces of the puzzle. Her journey takes
her from Chicago to New York, Washington D.C., and finally Miami, where she
aims to settle all her affairs… or go out with a bang.
