Who is Penny Lee? Half Chinese and half German, raised in the US, she has six passports of different names and nationalities. She can pose as the daughter of almost anyone, from Lee Kuan Yew to Robert E. Lee.
She’s also an industrial spy and professional honey trap. While on assignment in Dubai, seducing a Kazakh oil tycoon, the tables are turned: now she is the one being targeted—for death, by a Russian mobster named Viktor who bears an old grudge.
She’s now on the run, with a mission to protect her long-lost sister, the last link to the life she had before she became Penny Lee. Viktor has discovered her deepest secrets and knows how to inflict the worst revenge against her. But when Viktor crosses a line, Penny can run no longer.
