The mask / Taylor Stevens

Vanessa Michael Munroe, chameleon and information hunter, has a reputation for getting things done: dangerous and not quite legal things that have taken her undercover into some of the world's most deadly places. Still healing from a Somali hijacking gone wrong and a brutal attack that left her near death, Munroe accepts an invitation from her lover, Miles Bradford, to join him in Japan where he's working as a security consultant protecting high-value technology from industrial espionage. In the domesticity of their routine Munroe finds long sought after peace, until Bradford is arrested for a murder he didn't commit and the special interests who've set him up come after her, too. Fighting to stay alive and uncover the truth she'll soon discover how far she'll go and what she'll risk to save the one she loves from losing the next twenty years in locked-up isolation; how many laws she'll break when truth seems worse than his lies; who she'll trust and who she'll kill, because she's a strategist and hunter with a predator's instincts, and the person she loves has just stabbed her in the back.
