When Janis Goodrich retired from her life as The Red Star of Death, she was one of the most feared and accomplished assassins in the world. Through a middleman, intelligence agencies, criminal organizations, and wealthy individuals hired her, confident that the target would be killed and there wouldn’t be any blowback.
During her 19 years of retirement and wealthy beyond her dreams, Janis enjoyed life with her lover Karin Egger while she raced her vintage Porsche race cars, skied, learned to fly, and traveled. 9/11 and Karin’s death changed her life.
Combating terrorism was now a focus of intelligence agencies. Cuba’s Dirección de Inteligencia, the organization that trained her in 1971, wants Janis for its purposes. CIA and Mossad want to use her services again. No one knew where Janis was, what name she was using, or even if she was interested in working.
Mossad’s Aliyah Skylar was told to recruit Goodrich “by any means.” She got lucky and was the first to find Goodrich, who agreed to work with Mossad and the CIA in exchange for full immunity from prosecution for her past actions.
Hearing the woman known as The Red Star of Death had been found and was about to be debriefed by the CIA, FBI Special Agent William Smith III makes it his mission to put her behind bars.
Skylar and Goodrich are tasked to conduct a series of missions to weaken Hezbollah while their employers hunt for Abd al-Bari Ghulam, a Hezbollah operational planner. His attacks in France, Germany, and the U.S. killed and injured hundreds, made him a target.
To take down Ghulam, Goodrich and Sklyar must battle traitors within Mossad and CIA along with Smith III’s obsession with Goodrich.
