Katya Noskov’s Last Shot

For Katya Noskov, snuffing out lives was a cinch. Building friendships, however, is a more complex mission.

Katya Noskov always thought her career as an assassin would end in a violent death. She never imagined that the onset of age-related near-sightedness would force her into retirement.

Kat was comfortable with her solitary life, finding fulfillment in the work she did: eliminating the world of its very worst people. Now, faced with spending the rest of her years in stagnant boredom, Katya decides to take a risk into an arena she is completely unfamiliar with: long-term relationships.

But an assassin’s life has left her floundering and confused about how to function in the real world. As she ventures out to build a new life, Kat quickly discovers her unique skill set is not conducive to forging relationships. When she finds herself swept up in a friendship with three other women, Kat has to learn to trust people, let go of control, and push aside a lifetime of keeping secrets.

When Kat uncovers a secret that will tear them all apart, she has to decide whether to reveal what she knows and risk it all or keep it to herself and risk losing the only friends she’s ever had.

Katya Noskov’s Last Shot is a feel-good cozy read about finding common ground and later-in-life friendships.
