Alone in Paris, January starts to wonder if she's made a terrible mistake. The large cash injection that's been added to her bank balance only serves as a daily reminder of the warning she was given when she took the job. Now that she's on their payroll, she has to kill… or be killed. 

But can January justify murder in cold blood? 

Her hand is about to be forced…

Death’s Dark Horse

January wasn’t sure why she'd decided to take the train to Paris. She supposed that logically, her parents were less likely to have people waiting for her at the train station than at the airport. But then, she very much doubted that anyone was looking for her.

But a black unicorn was probably close enough.

Everything is about to change, she thought to herself. The whisper of a smile crossed her lips when the train emerged
