Wally was born in Russia and adopted by a wealthy New York City family. At fifteen, she traded her life of privilege for the gritty streets of Manhattan.

A year later, Wally has stumbled across a clue to a secret that will change her life forever: She’s the daughter of Klesko, a notorious Russian gangster. And now Klesko is headed straight for New York to reclaim the fortune Wally’s birth mother stole from him long ago.

Wally will stop at nothing to find her birth mother before Klesko does—because if he finds her, he’ll seek brutal vengeance. But Wally’s had her own killer training, and she’s hungry for justice.

Can Wally find—and save—her mother before Klesko kills them both?
