Mafiya

Her name is Rachel. Married, divorced. Two kids, endless expenses, like those private school tuition bills. In New York City. It’s not been easy, but Rachel’s been making ends meet, barely, between her pimp and the escort service. And recently a Russian mobster with big bucks and bad ideas.

Some crimes cry for vengeance, like the one that washes Rachel Wilson up on a beach, her head bald, her body mutilated. It’s a cry that Agnes Lynn, a hooker gone straight and Rachel’s long-time friend, can’t ignore. Steely and resourceful, with a determination impervious to fear, Agnes aims to settle scores with pimps and porn kings — and unwittingly, blindly, sets herself in the path of the formidable mob boss Viktor Timkin.

Stalked by the Mafiya, pursued by the police — not least, a maverick Russian-born detective whose broken English hides an intelligence as cold as any among his countrymen on the other side of the law — Agnes can only run. Until she gets herself red leather boots, lipstick, a boning knife, and a plan.

What she doesn’t plan on, though, are crooked cops, a Saudi weapons dealer, gangland assassins, a turf war, and redfella deviants. What she doesn’t plan on could get her killed.
