The Asset - Paperback

by Samara Black (Author)

The (possibly last) job: Spy on a college professor. How hard can it be?

Larissa Donovan has one of the most interesting jobs in the world: travel to new locations, take in the sights, meet the locals, and sometimes kill them. Foreign or domestic? Depends on who's signing her paycheck. Such is the life when you're The Asset, the country's most elite intelligence operative. After twenty years of murder and secrets, however, Larissa is considering retirement. She agrees to one (maybe, okay probably) last job for the FBI: go undercover and gain intel on a college professor with ties to the same mobster responsible for her parents' brutal murders. From the time she arrives on campus, the seemingly simple spy mission is fraught with unanswered questions and countless complications. How is a college professor connected to a mobster? Who's responsible for the mysterious phone calls and threatening packages delivered to the office? And why can't she stop thinking about the professor's sultry voice and devilish grin?

As Larissa digs deeper, she finds herself tangled in a web of dangerous secrets and lies. When one of those secrets leads back to her family, she learns there's more to father and her parents' deaths than she ever imagined.

The Asset is the first book in the Asset series. The book ends on a mild cliffhanger and contains adult content intended for those over 18.
