Description

Like fine wine, elite assassins only improve as they age. Bestselling author Lisa Gardner calls this thriller series “bloody good,” and this highly-anticipated sequel to the New York Times bestseller “Killers of a Certain Age” proves that experience and cunning only sharpen over time.

After more than a year spent quietly lying low, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie—the seasoned quartet of professional killers—are summoned back into action. Though they’ve tried to embrace retirement, boredom has eventually gotten the best of these skilled assassins. There’s truly only so many yoga classes, watercolor workshops, and idle afternoons they can endure before feeling a familiar urge to return to the deadly game they know best.

Their summons arrives courtesy of the Museum, the shadowy elite organization of assassins they’ve served for decades. A crisis has erupted within the organization’s ranks: someone on the inside has leaked a confidential list of crucial assassinations carried out by Museum agents, all pointing back to a ruthless, power-driven Eastern European gangster with an appetite for killing first and asking questions later. Now, this deadly adversary is seeking revenge, steadily picking off Museum agents who stand in the path of his sinister ambition—and the aging quartet knows their names are next on the list.

With their own lives hanging by a thread, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie kick off a dangerous global chase. Their dual objective is clear: uncover the traitorous mole within the Museum before more agents die, and eliminate the gangster who somehow anticipates their every move. To survive this lethal new assignment, these seasoned assassins will need every ounce of their unmatched skills, intelligence, and sheer determination.
