There is something compelling about a man who kills for a
living. Rafael Salinas is mysterious. He's ruthless. He
exudes raw sexuality that makes women like Drea Rousseau
willing to cross over to the dark side. That is until the
day he does the unthinkable and bites the hand that feeds
him. Then, he's just like all the others. Drea knows what
she now has to do. Just how she's going to get it done is
the question.
Playing the part of a blonde bombshell has gotten Drea this
far. She has almost everything a girl could want, except
for her soul. She knows that breaking free from the chains
that bind her will require money and lots of it. And, who
better to steal from than the man who has destroyed her
very being. Good thing she has been secretly preparing for
this day all along. Now, if only she can outwit the master
at his own game.
Betraying the man whose name is synonymous with the
term cold-blooded murderer proves to be a treacherous
undertaking for Drea. As she scrambles to outrun the hired
gun he has sent after her, Drea is involved in a tragic
accident that brings her one step closer to her future.
Armed with the knowledge that she has the chance to make
things right, Drea sets out on a mission to bring Salinas
to justice.
With nowhere else to turn, she engages in a risky
relationship with the one man that can beat Salinas at his
own game. But, can Drea trust that he won't double-cross
her in the process? Why is she so willing to risk it all
for a mercenary who has no regard for human life? Could it
be that the physical attraction she feels towards him has
blinded her better judgment? Will Salinas get his just due, or
will Drea simply become his next victim?
DEATH ANGEL is Linda Howard's latest rollercoaster ride of

DEATH ANGEL is this summer's hottest ticket.
After she double-crosses her lover, a ruthless crime lord,
Drea must flee from a relentless assassin who ultimately
succeeds in killing her. But after a very brief death, Drea
returns to life a changed woman: no longer selfish and
cruel, determined to bring down the ones who marked her for
death. Joining forces with the FBI, little does she suspect
that the man she will come to love is the same assassin who
took her life.
