On a cold wet Sunday morning an abused woman’s escape plan spectacularly backfires when four people are shot dead in a massacre on the bloody streets of a seaside northern city centre. Another plan is needed fast, but the clock is ticking. She has hours to break free or face certain execution when night finally falls. When the assassin turns up her house, she must flip him and turn a human killing machine against her enemies. He is her only hope of survival. But he’s not for turning, unless she can somehow convince the cold-blooded hitman to risk his own life to save hers.

This is the original novella that inspired Without Rules.
