Wow! A WANTED WOMAN is the first book I've read by Eric
Jerome Dickey but I've already hunted down a copy of one of
his other books. A WANTED WOMAN is a wickedly wild roller
coaster ride that doesn't stop long enough for the reader to
take a breath. I couldn't put A WANTED WOMAN DOWN so I read
while I ate, while I walked around the house, heck I read
this book from start to finish in one day as I had to see
just what crazy adventure would happen next!
A WANTED WOMAN is dark, exhilarating, and sometimes gruesome
look at just how nasty things can get when a deadly
assassin's life is at stake. Reaper shows absolutely no
mercy to those who oppose her as she gives new meaning to
the phrase "ruthless killer". Eric Jerome Dickey's
compelling writing and the fast paced suspense and action
make A WANTED WOMAN an adrenaline-charged and thrilling tale
that keeps the reader guessing till the very end. What a
ride! I can't wait to read my next Eric Jerome Dickey book!
The twenty-first novel from New York Times bestselling
author Eric Jerome Dickey, a steamy thriller set in tropical
Barbados
She is a woman of a thousand faces, an assassin who could be
anyone, anywhere.
The Trinidad contract was supposed to be simple: to make a
living man become a dead man. When the job goes bad under
the watchful eye of a bank security camera, there is nowhere
for agent MX-401, known as Reaper, to hide from the fearsome
local warlords, the Laventille Killers.
Her employers, the Barbarians, send her to Barbados, the
next island over, barely two hundred miles away, with the
LK’s in hot pursuit of the woman who took many of their own.
With the scant protection of a dank safe house, no passport,
and no access to funds, an island paradise becomes her
prison.
While she trawls for low-profile assignments to keep her
skills sharp and a few dollars in her pocket, Reaper
discovers that family ties run deep, on both sides of the
fight. Will the woman everyone wants, who has lived
countless lives in the service of others, finally discover
who she really is?
