A WANTED WOMAN<br />

A Novel<br />

Eric Jerome Dickey<br />

The twenty-first novel from New York Times<br />

bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey, a<br />

steamy thriller set in tropical Barbados<br />

Her name is Reaper. She kills. And so does her sister.<br />

Wherever the Barbarians send her she goes, then gets out quickly. Within hours<br />

she’s wearing a new disguise, a new accent, a new wig, and on the way to a new<br />

continent, a new assignment. But when a job goes bad in Trinidad—when she sends<br />

two of the ruthless gangsters, known as the Laventille Killers, to chat with Jesus’s<br />

daddy—the Barbarians aren’t pleased.<br />

They send her to Barbados, the next island over, barely two hundred miles away.<br />

It’s not far enough, and she knows it. She knows the Laventille Killers are looking for<br />

her, and Barbados is crawling with Trini accents. But the Barbarians won’t let her<br />

leave. They stick her there with no passport, no credit cards, no way out, and send her<br />

job after job of no consequence. The first rule of hit (wo)man work: Do the job, move<br />

on. This can’t last.<br />

So with the help of her newfound relation, who is equally skilled in courting—<br />

and thwarting—danger, Reaper makes her own plans—plans she’ll have to pull off<br />

before the Barbarians catch on. Before the Barbarians send someone for her . . .<br />

Filled with pulse-pounding suspense, steamy romance, and complex characters,<br />

A Wanted Woman will have legions of fans panting for more.<br />
