Book description
From the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series, the inspiration for HBO's True Blood, comes "a gripping, twisty-turny, thrill ride of a read" (Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author) following a young gunslinging mercenary on deadly mission through the American Southwest.
In a fractured United States, a new world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards. Lizbeth Rose has a wildly fearsome reputation but these wizards are desperate. Searching the small border towns near Mexico, they're trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner believed to be a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin.
As the trio journey through an altered America--shattered into several countries after the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt and the Great Depression--they're set on by enemies. It's clear that a powerful force does not want them to succeed in their mission. Lizbeth Rose has never failed a client, but this job may stretch her to her deadly limits.
"Immersive, involving, suspenseful and intriguing, with a main character you'll love" (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author), An Easy Death is a fast-paced thriller of the highest order.
"Immersive, involving, suspenseful, and intriguing, with a main character you'll love." -Lee Child, #1 internationally bestselling author of the Jack Reacher novels "When a master of her craft offers to tell you a story, let her.

Battered by a run across the border to Mexico Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards to be their local guide and gunnie. For the wizards, Gunnie Rose has already acquired a fearsome reputation and they're at a desperate crossroad, even if they won't admit it. They're searching through the small border towns near Mexico, trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner, Oleg Karkarov. The wizards believe Oleg is a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin, and that Oleg's blood can save the young tsar's life. As the trio journey through an altered America, shattered into several countries by the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt and the Great Depression, they're set on by enemies. It's clear that a powerful force does not want them to succeed in their mission. Lizbeth Rose is a gunnie who has never failed a client, but her oath will test all of her skills and resolve to get them all out alive.
