Beautiful
Carnage--a Neo Geisha novel
By
Monica
L Patton
Genre:
Steamy Psychological Thriller
Orphaned
and brain-washed from the age of six, Philomene
Doucette is a beautiful assassin programmed to be a soulless killing
machine by the CIA— and death has never looked so good.
In
the, steamy, psychological thriller, Beautiful Carnage, Philomene is
given her most important assignment yet: executing Haruto Mori, the
leader of a deadly Japanese clan. To conceal her identity, Philomene
is smuggled into Japan under the guise of being a sex worker and is
presented as a gift for Haruto. Philomene’s
mission to kill Haruto becomes an inner battle as she struggles
between her conditioning, the
affection she feels for Haruto and her increasing desire for Tadakai,
her CIA handler.
When
Haruto is unexpectedly murdered, Philomene uses her deadly training
to find answers. She learns of a shocking government plot for mass
murder at an upcoming Yakuza Summit—where Tadakai will be in
attendance.
Philomene
rescues Tadakai, and together they find a haven in a remote,
abandoned farmhouse. As they forge a deeper connection, the two make
a life-changing decision to leave this dangerous lifestyle behind to
create a new life together...but their past misdeeds will not be
absolved without exacting bloody sacrifices.
