What could go wrong when you're trying to unravel a decades-old conspiracy?
As the current queen of the Ashland underworld, you would think that I, Gin Blanco, would know all about some secret society controlling things from behind the scenes.
I might be the Spider, the city's most fearsome assassin, but all my Ice and Stone elemental magic hasn't done me a lick of good in learning more about "the Circle". Despite my continued investigations, the trail's gone as cold as the coming winter.
So when Finnegan Lane, my foster brother, gets word of a surprising inheritance, we figure why not skip town for someplace less dangerous for a few days? That place: Bullet Pointe, a fancy hotel resort complex plus Old West theme park that Finn now owns lock, stock, and barrel.
At first, all the struttin' cowboys and sassy saloon girls are just hokey fun. But add in some shady coincidences and Circle assassins lurking all around, and vacationing becomes wilder—and deadlier—than any of us expected.
Good thing this assassin brought plenty of knives to the gunfight ...

Gin Blanco, a talented cook, owner of a barbecue joint, and an assassin extraordinaire known as the Spider, also serves as the queen of the city of Ashland's underworld. Discovering that a secret society called the Circle may be actually running the show from behind the scenes, and that her mother may have been involved, Gin searches for answers that are not forthcoming. When her foster brother Finnegan Lane inherits an Old West theme park and hotel resort called Bullet Pointe, the siblings decide to get away for a few days and check out Finn's new property. Cowboy shoot-outs and saloons may seem silly at first, but then the mystery of missing jewels and the appearance of Circle assassins turn their vacation into a wild and deadly confrontation. VERDICT Estep's most recent series outing (after Bitter Bite) brings fresh revelations and fierce action. Gin's continued search for the truth about her mother's past and her own struggle to survive enemies make each book a distinct journey.--KC
