FIRST RUNNER-UP OF THE INAUGURAL 2019 CWIP PRIZE
'Original' Clare Mackintosh
'James Bond should retire now . . . puts the sass in assassin as it's never been done before' L. S. Hilton
***
Killing Eve meets Stephanie Meyer's The Chemist in this 'unique' (Heat magazine) debut thriller.
Meet Lex Tyler.
She's a covert operative for Platform Eight, the assassination department of Her Majesty's Secret Service, and one of the very few women to successfully negotiate the old boy's network of the espionage world.
She's smart, resourceful and very deadly - and she's not your average back-to-work mum.
Her new assignment is a high-stakes hit. Her target: Russian oligarch Dmitri Tupolev. But the more she digs into his life, the more Lex wonders if there isn't a different game going on - one in which she might be an unsuspecting casualty.
With her own family now to worry about, Lex needs to work out who is really pulling the strings, before she too becomes a loose end.
In her world, failure is not an option.

About the Author
A half-Chinese, half-Scottish Londoner, Asia studied Anthropology at Durham University, after which she started a career in television. She presented and produced lifestyle programmes in Shanghai before moving back to London, where she worked for Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as Project Manager on their round the world motorbike documentaries. She started writing Killing It, her debut novel, on maternity leave and undertook a Faber Academy course to help her finish it. Asia lives in London with her husband, four young children and two dogs. Killing It was described as 'brilliant' by Hugh Grant, 'different and refreshing' by Marian Keyes and 'witty and original' by Clare Mackintosh. It was the first runner-up in the inaugural 2019 CWIP Prize. The Nursery has been called 'lethally addictive' by A. L. Gaylin, with 'shades of Killing Eve' (Claire Allan); and was one of the Daily Telegraph's Best 28 Thrillers of 2019.
