| Publisher Description: Following on directly from Book One, 'Death And The City: Book Two' continues the ongoing bloody, moral, psychological and fashion dilemmas of professional hit-man's nemesis and single working female Lara Leatherstone (her 'Porn Star Name Generator' alias of choice), as she catches up with paid contract killers on the To Do List. Which she fits in between the sometimes mundane requirements of her regular nightclub job, and the irrational fear of dating, all under constant self-scrutiny for ulterior motives. It's been a while since the last Firearms Amnesty, meaning the collection scavenged from her targets is taking up more room in her kitchen cupboards than there is left for teabags. And threats of new technology mean that upgrades are now necessary all of the time - and not the kind she wants to park in her driveway or answer her mobile phone to any time soon. In the meantime, her targets and associates seem to have a lot of time on their hands for alternative escapist lifestyles and online fantasy worlds, blissfully unaware of as crossing over into her own quite real one. And her new wingman, Connor, has another agenda of his own. Rather than the one she's concerned about, which is that head office are trying to gain more blackmail leverage. When they're not trying to get her to recruit more 'Deathrunners' or to send them photographs of herself dressed as Catwoman trying on shoes, neither of which she is keen to do. Death & The City, released here in two parts as Books One and Two, comprises the first instalment in the Tales Of The Deathrunners series. |
