Krátky popis
Not yet thirty, Bathory has assembled a peculiar résumé: model, sex
worker, linguist, Latin scholar, and assassin. The last of these
has been the family trade for generations. Growing up, Bathory, her
mother, and her father made an isolated, strange, and loving - if
very unusual - family unit.Her lonely childhood games mimicked
spycraft and wet-work, while her parents watched and shared their
arcane theories about love and death. As a student in New York, her
life changes on accepting a job at a dilapidated card shop in
Manhattan. This is a front for an agency that allows her to put her
inherited skills to use while pursuing romance in the city.However,
steering clear of attachment is as dangerous as anything else she
does and means sidestepping a certain alluring figure from her
father's past. She is equally intent on dying young, a less
difficult proposition given her heritage, the company she keeps -
call girls, conflicted cops, trustfund hoodlums - and the people
pursuing her. Will Bathory escape both fate and family, or does
satisfaction and salvation lie only in their embrace?
