博客來The BRAND NEW novel in Luke Jennings’s smash hit KILLING EVE series. Buckle up - Villanelle and Eve are back!
I haven’t kept her safe. Someone’s taken her.
It goes without saying that when I find out who that is, I’ll kill them.
Ex-MI6 officer Eve Polastri and assassin Oxana Vorontsova are living off grid in Russia. Their existence is pinched and drab; both know how close they came to mutual destruction.
Oxana is approached by the Twelve. Frustrated by inaction, hungry for her old life, she allows herself to be brought in from the cold. Then she finds Eve gone, taken from her by those who think she still belongs to them.
And so Villanelle wakes, and a new game begins.
Villanelle plays her part with lethal skill, indulging the monster that has for too long been caged. As the hunt for Eve takes her from St Petersburg to Paris and a final reckoning in London, old and new enemies surface. Soon both women are drawn back into the shadowlands of political intrigue and murder.
Villanelle and Eve are back! The eagerly anticipated next installment of this cult series, and basis for the BAFTA-winning Killing Eve TV series, will not dissapoint.
Praise for Luke Jennings:
Topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse ― Sunday Express
A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer ― Daily Mail
Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun ― Sunday Times
A short howitzer of a novel . . . Jennings writes at supersonic speed, packing in an impressive number of violent set pieces and sex scenes. The breakneck pace is undeniably addictive but he also displays an offbeat sense of humour ― Metro
Exciting and fun ― Daily Express
Reads a little like Terry Hayes’s I Am Pilgrim in miniature . . . the final pages are thrilling ― The Spectator
Racy in several senses and gripping from the word go, you can also see why BBC America commissioned a television version of Jennings’s sensational thriller ― Radio Times
