My Immaculate Assassin - by David Huddle (Paperback)

About the Book

Both a cyber-thriller and a simmering romance, MY IMMACULATE ASSASSIN raises disturbing and timely questions about the technology and morality of "idealistic" murder.

Book Synopsis

Maura Nelson, who has a sophisticated background in science, medicine, and programming, has stumbled upon a way to execute someone using only the computers in her home office--silently, anonymously, leaving no trace of violence, so that her target appears to have died of natural causes. Maura tests her method by eliminating Syrian tyrant Bashar al-Assad, but this experience affects her so deeply that she doesn't want to continue alone. She entices Jack Plymouth into a partnership to rid the world of those they decide "need to be dead." Both a steamy romance and a cyber-thriller, My Immaculate Assassin raises disturbing and timely questions about the technology and morality of "idealistic" murder, carried out remotely.
