Monroe in book twelve of the <I>New York Times</I> and <I>USA TODAY </I>bestselling Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series.<br><br>There€s nothing worse than a cruel, cunning enemy with time to kill€"and my murder to plan. With wicked Fire elemental Mab Monroe long gone, you€d think I could finally catch a break. But someone€s always trying to take me down, either as Gin Blanco or my assassin alter-ago. Now along comes the Spider€s new arch-nemesis, the mysteriously named M. M. Monroe, who is gleefully working overtime to trap me in a sticky web of deceit. <br> <br>The thing is, I€m not the only target. I can see through the tangled threads enough to know that every bit of bad luck my friends have been having lately is no accident€"and that each unfortunate €œcoincidence€ is just one more arrow drawing ever closer to hitting the real bull€s-eye. Though new to Ashland, this M. M. Monroe is no stranger to irony, trying to get me, an assassin, framed for murder. Yet, as my enemy€s master plan is slowly revealed, I have a sinking feeling that it will take more than my powerful Ice and Stone magic to stop my whole life from going up in flames.
