ABOUT THE BOOK

In a world where assassination is legal and licensed by the local government, an all-female agency of professional โ€œproblem solversโ€ fight against the structures that bind them.

Their boss, Mr. C, thinks heโ€™s been doing the right thing all along by using his fancy MBA to make the agency his mama left him more efficient. He figures heโ€™s pretty smartโ€ฆuntil the day he receives mysterious messages from โ€œAnony Mouseโ€ tipping him off that he needs to start running for his life.

Now a clutch of AI-powered drones hunt C from safe house to safe house as he reads through old case files and tries to figure out where he went wrong by the โ€œgirlsโ€ he employed so he can save his own sorry ass.

John Wick meets the Barbie movie in this satire of modern workplace culture.

An orange graphic that says just as her job was taking lives, it had taken hers, a quote from the novel Read and Run by Beth Green

โ€œMama always joked that on any street in the world youโ€™d find

a woman with enough rage inside to burn down a building.

The rage, she said, was all they needed. The rest was just training.โ€
