2022: Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that’s their secret weapon.
Billie, Mary Alice, Helen and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years. But now their talents are considered old-school and no one appreciates their real-world resourcefulness in an age of technology.
When the foursome is sent on an all-expenses-paid trip to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own. Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, and the women realise they’ve been marked for death.
To get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience and each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival. They’re about to teach the Board what it really means to be a woman – and a killer – of a certain age.
Worldwide killers
The real setting of this book is to invite you inside a world where women are underestimated so they come back fighting. A group of women are recruited as killers, spies on a mission and get involve with all manner of heists and missions. Forty years later, they have effectively been cast aside by their handlers. So, they renter that world but as assassins for people they want to target. Marked for death? Not this lot. The hunters become the hunted.
On a journey with bad knees, hot flushes and family dramas.
Society should never underestimate women. But if society thinks you’re invisible then you can afford to hit back in plain sight.
