DANGEROUS WOMEN stirs up the perfect cocktail of ingenious spy-craft and political intrigue of Thomas Perry's \u003cem\u003eThe Old Man\u003c\/em\u003e brightened with the charming, uncanny energy of \u003cem\u003eKillers of a Certain Age\u003c\/em\u003e. This urgent, cleverly plotted high stakes thriller is set in motion by botched attack on two law clerks leaving one dead and the other in a coma. The ensuing cover up leaves a string of bodies and too many players at cross-purposes. It also leaves Chief Justice Clarissa Baxter with a target on her back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe'll need an off the grid hero with friends in high places: enter retired FBI agent-turned-boardinghouse landlady, Ethel Fiona Crestwater (legend) and her double-first-cousin-twice-removed Jesse Cooper (sidekick). Although in her mid-seventies, Ethel is no bumbling amateur sleuth; she's a seasoned pro with razor-sharp instincts and Bond-worthy skills. College-aged Jesse brings tech savvy and boundless enthusiasm, along with an innate talent for intrigue. Together, the unlikely duo will face malicious back-stabbing political sycophants, conniving lobbyists, and a motivated assassin bent on removing the Chief Justice from the equation—along with Ethel, who stands defiantly between the hitman and his payday.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark de Castrique","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":58629254119584,"sku":"9781728258331","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8637\/5072\/files\/BNCImageAPI_afacf6a9-399f-4de4-88e0-da7b47d6112b.jpg?v=1786305869","url":"https:\/\/rivendell-books.com\/products\/9781728258331","provider":"Rivendell Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
