Valentine: Red Rain - Cooney, Daniel

. .

Résumé :

• Dana Valentine -- former assassin and the dangerous, beautiful heroine of Valentine: Fully Loaded -- returns after months of attempting to go straight from a past of killing. Looking for more than life as a death-dealer, Dana apparently escaped the mental bonds of both her employers and her fatal lifestyle, recreating herself as a waitress in the Italian restaurant of Angelo Argento. Now, Dana finds her lethal skills of use again for a friend to whom she owes her life. Tainted with a criminal past of his own, Angelo faces the leader of the West Coast Russian mob -- the goliath known only as Sabonis -- who has come to violently collect on a very old blood debt. Matters become further complicated when Angelo's own family cannot be trusted and a character from Dana's past re-enters the scene, making a difficult all the worse for a woman trying to reform herself despite the odds. If she reclaims her mantle as the lovely angel of death for Angelo, the ghosts that Dana has managed to momentarily silence will reemerge to haunt her...and take control of her life, again.
