Paperback. Marko is not a great assassin. He is competent, careful, and painfully human, which in his line of work counts as a liability. He kills because the city demands payment in blood long before it accepts rent, and because sentiment does not keep the lights on. He is exhausted, broke, and clinging to small promises like life preservers. A cheap vacation he will probably cancel. A porcelain bird his grandmother has been hinting at, ridiculous and fragile and impossibly hopeful.This last job is supposed to be simple.One door.One shot.One wire transfer that might finally let him breathe.The luxury apartment smells of money and silence when he arrives. The kind of silence that belongs to places where consequences rarely visit.The target is already dead.Not clumsy. Not rushed. Executed with restraint and confidence. A professional ending, clean enough to feel intentional, cruel enough to feel final.And someone else is in the room.Flora stands barefoot beside the body, glass in hand, as though she has stepped out of a vacation brochure and into the aftermath of a murder without missing a beat. Soft smile. Summer dress. Calm eyes that take Marko in without fear or apology. She looks like the sort of woman people trust instinctively, the sort who could ruin a life without raising her voice.She explains it easily. Almost casually.She was on holiday. The intel pinged. The target was close. She decided to handle it before catching her flight. Business, folded neatly into pleasure.For Flora, killing is not desperation or survival. It is precision. It is control. It is a game played at a level Marko has never been allowed to reach.The problem is that Marko needed this kill.Not for pride. Not for reputation. For money. For time. For the fragile illusion that he might someday choose something other than violence. Without this contract, the future collapses into familiar shapes. Debt. Hunger. Promises broken quietly.They stand there, two assassins at opposite ends of the same mistake, measuring each other over a corpse neither of them can afford to explain.And in that suspended moment, before the gunfire starts and the system turns on them both, something dangerous sparks between them. Recognition. Curiosity. A pull neither of them trusts.One of them has already been paid.The other has nothing left to lose.And somewhere in the machinery that controls them both, someone has decided neither of them is meant to walk away. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
