Publisher's Synopsis
'Enough is enough!' How often have those desperate pleas for help gone unheard, with dreadful consequences? Life can be merciless. Nikita seemed to have it all: a happy working-class family and an idyllic life. The passing of her father drew them even closer together. But his death also unearthed the family's darkest secrets, driving them apart. Nikita's world collapsed. The lovely woman and pretty angel transformed into an angel of vengeance, turning her pain outward. As if that was not enough, auditory hallucinations crept in, the voices promoting her into the very devil himself. She was both icy cool and deadly, elusive yet always a step ahead, with an uncanny ability to read situations and minds. From police headquarters to the mafia underworld, she had mastered every trick and skill needed to survive and thrive, learning from the best. Nikita's late father was an untouchable spy and criminal virtuoso. Straddling two worlds, Nikita was both friend and helper to the police as well as admired by crooks. But this delicate balancing act couldn't last forever. As she jestingly observed, 'The problem with a slice of bread is, it always falls on the buttered side, so handle it with care...'
