“I am a hitman only to be matched by few.”

Having taken out two of the leading numbers is not enough for the Knight Agency. Even though she is technically the wrong gender, Jane Browne is sent out to pretend to be a budding hitman to get closer to the American branch of the Syndicate. In the guise of stoic Alex Stone, she does what she has to do to convince her possible future employer that she is the person he is looking for - a hitman with the abilities he wants. Two American colleagues have already blown their job interview, but Jane will do better, even if it kills her - or several other people. Not all is well in the American office, either, but that is only a matter on the side, as is the return of the monster-in-law.
