Ellie Austen has spent her life living in a shadow. As the daughter of Jamie Austen—the most lethal female assassin the CIA has ever known—Ellie enters the Agency with expectations she never asked for and a legacy she can’t escape. Her first assignment is supposed to be simple. Quiet. Routine. Travel to the Cayman Islands. Identify a suspected CIA mole. Report back. But routine ends the moment Ellie realizes she’s being watched. Hunted by terrorists who know far too much, Ellie is forced to kill to survive—and with that single act, the mission shifts from investigation to all-out pursuit. Someone has compromised the operation from inside, and every move Ellie makes confirms the unthinkable: the mole is closer than anyone suspects. With the clock ticking and enemies closing in, Ellie must prove she’s more than her mother’s daughter. Because if she fails to uncover the traitor in time, the cost won’t just be her career—it will be her life. In the world of espionage, secrets are inherited, betrayal runs deep, and apples don’t fall far from the tree.
