Professional assassin Anna Petrov is assigned one last mission. The richest man in the world will have to die. However unprepared, she must taking control of his valuable ‘rare earth’ mining assets or risk a possibly terminal confrontation between the world’s superpowers.

A dead body and a computer flash drive leaves professional assassin Anna Petrov with a problem. Because of it, some determined intelligence organisations are looking for a conversation. When the Russian SVR, one of the most feared covert operators in the world, finally confront her, a secret is revealed leaving her with a life or death decision!

The richest man in the world would have to be ‘dealt with’, but not before robbing him of the ‘key’ to a mining empire built on the dwindling supply of ‘rare earth’ minerals.

They would send the most accomplished professional assassin in the business to do the job. Her success or failure, in one final mission, would decide whether or not the civilised world tips over the edge in a scramble to capture the planet’s remaining stocks!

That might well have been the ‘end-game’ for some, but it’s not the way Anna Petrov saw it!

The trail of bodies the assassin leaves behind is witness to a determination to win the day and maintain world calm. But that was until a final unexpected confrontation with her mentor, Russian SVR General Boronovsky, forced him to play his Ace card.

Would it stop the most feared contract killer in the world in her tracks … or would the frustrated Russian Secret Service Supremo be proven wrong?

However, whatever Boronovsky told her, the end result was not how Anna Petrov saw it.

Control of the dwindling world supplies of rare earth minerals is without doubt the prize, but without the ‘key’ the world’s intelligence agencies will be forced to watch events from the sidelines.

Unfortunately, that’s not the way Ted Carter, head of the American CIA saw it … and in a final face to face with Anna Petrov, everyone held their breath, hoping to God he was right!
