Kill or Be Killed — Linda Kay Silva

Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the thrilling new series "Kill or Be Killed," full of action, intrigue, and adventure. ~~~ Billie MacAvoy is part Dexter, part Tony Soprano, part Kerry Matheson... but all CIA operative, a member of the seldom discussed Clandestine Ops that few know of, and even fewer believe exists. ~ Billie's job is to take out the garbage even the regular CIA won't touch, like rogue heads of state, or other "wandering assets." She's one of this country's greatest and scariest weapons-a highly skilled assassin... and a sociopath. ~ When one of her assets goes missing, Billie sets out on a path even darker than Clan Ops, one full of unexpected twists and turns. In between Russian agents, Middle Eastern hitmen, and fellow CIA operatives gone bad, Billie must learn how to balance the life she leads in the light of day with the all-consuming darkness she experiences as an agent-and a killer. ~ It isn't enough to maintain a cover. In the world of clan ops, there is just one rule: Kill or Be Killed.
