Summary

“You know, everything began in red,” I murmured, running my thumb along the edge of the blade. “The first colour I painted with was red, the first death I witnessed was red and my first kill was well, obviously red,” I glanced up at him briefly, “meeting you was red too.” He might’ve said something but I was too far gone to notice.

My lips tilted up into a cruel smile. “Everything began in red and everything will end in red.” ** Six years ago, Veronica Zhao packed away her brushes and traded them in for guns. Now a living legend in the crime syndicate, she prowls the underground desperately seeking a name to the murderer that took away her family years ago. When the FBI offers her a deal that might hold the key to her answers, Veronica can’t refuse. Paired with a broodingly handsome agent with a skillset to match, the two find themselves fighting a war that shakes the world of intelligence and crime to its core; and discover that some secrets are better left unsolved.
