Publisher's Synopsis
Esad Marki, the head of the Chicago branch of the Albanian Mafia oversaw the central hub of the organization's fentanyl trafficking business. After the FBI arrested fourteen members of his group, their U.S. operations were effectively shut down. In retaliation, Marki has the son of one of the federal attorneys prosecuting the case, sixteen-year-old Charlie Dumont, kidnapped.
When they attempt to abduct him, Charlie's friend, Neevie Ansbro tries to intervene. She, too, is sixteen, built like a gymnast, and wears her strawberry blond hair in a long braided ponytail. She kills one of the four abductors with a knife and wounds a second before she is tased and sedated. The Albanians spirit the kids away to a remote area of New Mexico and take them on a long hike into the wilderness toward one of their fentanyl processing outposts. What they don't know is that Neevie is a genetically engineered assassin. In addition to having extensive survival training, she is an expert with handguns and can put a bullet up a fly's behind at 800 yards with a rifle. She will need all her training if she is to help Charlie and herself escape. Their captors are about to learn an important lesson too late. While Neevie looks like a cute little teenage girl, she is the personification of death, and they will soon come to know that death wears a ponytail.
