The Assassin’s Mistress by J. H. Bográn
Review by MJ Logan
Length: 3500 word short story.
Rated: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Genre: Crime Thriller
Inside: Deception, love, murder and a twisted destiny.
"Take my hand if you want to live!" It was more than an offer to save her life, although even professional hit-man Robert Prescott could not have dreamed it was so. The Assassin's Mistress has a spy-thriller feel and the well written story keeps you turning the pages from beginning to end. A great read and your only regret will be putting it down.
