SHE KILLS:
WAS IT JUSTICE?WAS IT REVENGE?OR WAS IT JUST FOR KICKS?Two years after she was rescued from her abductors and restored to her mother by André Warner*, Lizzy Power, now renamed Liza, decides to opt out of her sophomore year at Boston University, and set off for France in search of Warner, with whom she fell in love and cannot forget. She flies to the UK, buys a sports car, and crosses the Channel to France. Three days later she turns up at his hilltop home in Andorra.But Warner is not at home, and, worse, she learns that his house has been sold. The only remaining link with him is his yacht, Seaspray, berthed in Sitges, in Spain. Dismayed but undeterred by the setback, she heads south. Unbeknown to her she is no longer alone in her quest. She has unwittingly come to the attention of three unscrupulous individuals, who are now converging on her, each with his own agenda.To Rik de Bruin, quasi-legitimate flesh peddler, she is a no more than a commodity, a package of meat for the Middle East slave market.To Bo Rossen, enforcer for the French Mafia, she is another victim, a body to be disposed of.To Albin Lebeau, French police officer, she is the girl of his fantasies, to be possessed, legally or otherwise.All the while, André Warner, the man she loves, is in St Petersburg, and remains oblivious of her extreme danger. When the showdown comes will he be too far away to save her?*See I KILL published by Kaybec May 2016

About the author
Lex Lander
15 books24 followersBorn in Britain, raised in France, attended Auckland University in New Zealand where I obtained a degree in French and Italian, I now live and work in Montreal. Despite heavy business commitments – I am a partner in a Property Realtor business – I am currently finding time to produce two novels per annum until I achieve success. Failure is not an option.
My first, ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER JACKAL, was published in 2014 as a ‘trial run’ and is available as an eBook and a B-format paperback on Amazon. My two current thrillers, Vols I and II in the André Warner, Manhunter series are also available as eBooks on Amazon, and as B-format paperbacks though the UK’s largest bookselling chain, WHSmiths.
Further titles in the Warner series are on their way, as well as a crime thriller set in the south of France, to launch a new series. My publisher is keeping my nose to the grindstone!
I hope I will eventually soon become a force to be reckoned with in the crime-writing world, and secure my future as a novelist of repute. Then maybe I’ll give up selling properties!

Unable to forget about her rescuer André Warner, Liza Power sets off to France to find him. But Warner’s home in Andorra is vacant and his boat is now occupied by a couple of dubious-looking characters. And to make matters worse, Liza’s movements attract attention that puts her mission in jeopardy - with a French cop, a Mafia enforcer and sordid sex-peddler Rik de Bruin on her trail, the young woman will have to keep her eyes open if she’s to find André and keep them both alive.
Taking a character from one of his earlier books (I Kill), Lex Lander drops Liza Power into a plot where trouble is everywhere. With the usual twisty-turny storyline, there’s plenty of action and plenty of villainy to keep us guessing what’ll happen next. My only criticism is the clunky segue from Lander’s usual first-person narrative to the all-seeing narrator, which takes up the rest of the book. This sort of thing is jarring and never less than irritating, and while I can understand why he’s used this technique, it always comes over as a bit of a cop-out.
Nevertheless, it’s a great story and Lander’s stock-in-trade action-packed style keeps things moving at a cracking pace.

Another Spellbinding Read
As per his previous 4 books in the series, this novel keeps you on your toes all the way through.
A great integration of characters and a very different storyline from a lot of the assassin genre books.
Very much looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work.

Currently obsessed with this series and just can't wait for the next one to be released! Just when I thought I was getting a happy ending for a modern day Bonnie and Clyde, a cliffhanger! Would 10/10 recommend
