Critical Space — Greg Rucka

Greg Rucka is one of the most exciting voices in thriller fiction -- and bodyguard Atticus Kodiak one of its edgiest, most dangerous heroes. This time Kodiak breaks a cardinal rule when dealing with a client and finds himself in the most dangerous place of all ....

Code-named Drama, she is a lightning-fast death machine -- a hitwoman sought by intelligence agencies around the world. Drama kills as easily as she breathes ... and the last time she and Atticus Kodiak met, they barely escaped each other alive.

Now he is her only hope for survival. And if he thought Drama was stone-cold dangerous as a contract killer, Atticus is about to find out the hard way that she is ten times more deadly as a woman.
