"".absolute power corrupts absolutely."John Dalberg-Acton; circa 1887.State's Attorney Hank Kennedy, a married man, has a habit of impregnating young, unmarried, women. If the public finds out, the scandal will ruin his political run for governor, his marriage, and his life. So he has them killed as a matter of course. Molly Braver was his last. But Molly's sister Hanna works for the CIA as a sniper in the Afghan war, and presents a problem when she comes looking for answers. Kennedy puts out a contract hit meant for her, but kills her father instead. Hanna surmises that the gang drive-by shooting ties back to her sister's murder. As the police offer little more than failed policy, her sense of right and wrong takes the shape of retribution. In order to avenge her family's murders, Hanna must find the mastermind behind the killings before he can make another attempt on her life. To do that, she must work her way back into the good graces of the man she betrayed. CIA Deputy-Director Preston Cole."
