Dana Santa spent twenty years making death look like an accident — for governments that never officially hired her.
Six years into retirement, she thought that life was buried for good. Then a stranger hands her a photograph of the partner she watched die eighteen years ago, with five words on the back: he was never dead.
Pulled back into a world she swore she'd left behind, Dana discovers the organization she once killed for was never destroyed — and the people running it now include faces from her own past she buried with her own hands. As old wounds resurface and new betrayals reveal themselves, Dana has to decide how much of the truth she can survive, and how much of the man she's falling back in love with she can actually trust.
Cold, precise, and relentless, Bubble Bee is a tightly-wound thriller about family, loyalty, and the price of being the best in the world at making people disappear.
