Killing It

Asia Mackay Zaffre. Out now

There’s a new super-spy in town in the fabulous form of elite government assassin Lexi Tyler. We meet her as she returns to work after maternity leave – not quite back to her fighting weight or in the ruthless mindset of a professional killer. But with a mission to smash a deadly conspiracy and still make it home for bathtime and dinner, it’s not long before there’s a revolver in her nappy bag and she’s slipping into her – literally – killer heels. With a slick plot, pin-sharp prose and an authentic feel, this fiercely feminist and witty thriller will keep you gripped… and rooting for a rather wonderful heroine.
