– първата книга от поредицата Първичен убиец

Моето име е Джин, и аз убивам хора.

Наричат ме Паяка. Аз съм най – страшния убиец на юг – когато не съм заета в Порк Пит, готвеща най- добрата скара в Ашланд. Като владетел на елемента камък, мога да чуя всичко, като се почне от шепотите на чакъла под краката ми, до вибрациите на внушителните планини Апалачи над мен. Моят лед, за който магията също така е от полза, прави редки ножове. Но не използвам силите си на работа, освен ако наистина не се налага. Наречете го професионална гордост.
Сега когато безмилостен владетел на елемента Въздух, ми стана двойник уби треньора ми, аз съм навън за отмъщение. И премахвам всичко, което застане на пътя ми – добро или лошо. Може да изглеждам готина, но съм все още съм една от лошите. Което е причината, поради която съм в беда, откакто непреодолимо твърдия следовател Донован Кейн се съгласи да ми помогне. Последното нещо, което този безсърдечен убиец би искал, е, когато се бия с магия, много по мощна от моята собствена, е сексапилно разсейване... имайки предвид, че Донован ме иска мъртва толкова сирно, колкото и врага.

Curiosity is definitely going to get me dead one of these days. Probably real soon.

I'm Gin Blanco.

You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin in the South. I'm retired now, but trouble still has a way of finding me. Like the other day when two punks tried to rob my popular barbecue joint, the Pork Pit. Then there was the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant. Only, for once, those kill shots weren't aimed at me. They were meant for Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her grandfather protect their property from an evil coalmining tycoon, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm really retired. So is Detective Donovan Caine. The only honest cop in Ashland is having a real hard time reconciling his attraction to me with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my hands off his sexy body. What can I say? I'm a Stone elemental with a little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart isn't made of solid rock. Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets her man . . . dead or alive.

What kind of assassin works pro bono?

It's hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most. To the public, I'm Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland's best barbecue joint. To my friends, I'm the Spider, retired assassin. I still do favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized stalker--Mab's right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive fists. At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too much about me, but I'll take my chances. Then there's Detective Bria Coolidge, one of Ashland's finest. Until recently, I thought my baby sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she know, I'm a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.

And right now I have a bull's eye on my forehead.Cold-blooded Fire elemental Mab Monroe has hired one of the smartestassassins in the business to trap me. Elektra LaFleur is skilled andefficient, with deadly electrical elemental magic as potent as my ownIce and Stone powers. Which means there's a fifty-fifty chance one of uswon't survive this battle. I intend to kill LaFleur--or die trying--becauseMab wants the assassin to take out my baby sister, Detective BriaCoolidge, too. The only problem is, Bria has no idea I'm her long-lostsibling ... or that I'm the murderer she's been chasing through Ashlandfor weeks. And what Bria doesn't know just might get us both dead ...
