The next instalment of Luke Jennings' bestselling KILLING EVE series - the inspiration behind the BAFTA-winning drama starring Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh!

'An icon of spy fiction' — Sunday Times bestselling author Charles Cumming

All these battle scars, my love… You're running out of lives.

Determined to escape the iron shackles of the Twelve, Eve and Oxana are trying something new. Something risky, even for them. They're going freelance.

Their first client, sent their way by MI5, is Majid Ismailov. An international power player and an important friend to Britain, Majid is also a passionate racehorse owner with his eye on the racing calendar's most fiercely contested prize - the Prix de Arc de Triomphe, run annually in Paris.

When one of Majid's prize fillies is stolen from his Newmarket stable, Eve and Oxana enter a world new to both of them. What at first appears to be an amateurish ransom attempt is gradually revealed as something more sinister. A carefully plotted move in a superpower chess game.

Meanwhile Oxana has a deadly secret of her own, a secret that threatens her already volatile relationship with Eve. Can she contain the violence within her before it destroys them both?

A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer ― Daily Mail

Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun ― Sunday Times
