No Tomorrow

February 1, 2019
Working for a covert British task force after losing her job at MI6, Eve Polastri identifies and confronts an MI5 director who has been hiding signs of great wealth. Fearing that his treason will be revealed, he admits to working for a shadowy international organization, the Twelve, which plans to remake society; then he disappears and is believed to have been killed, Eve surmises, by the assassin known as Villanelle. So Eve goes after Villanelle (Russian Oxana Vorontsova, who has taken the code name of her favorite scent), as the obsessive relationship between the two women deepens. Nonstop action moves between London, Venice, Paris, Moscow, and the Swiss Alps, as the two women track each other, and amoral Villanelle continues her murderous ways. Terrified by events in Moscow, Eve opts to give up the spy business for a normal life with husband Niko but instead finds herself facing a dreadful decision in a face-to-face meeting with Villanelle. Jennings provides plenty of spycraft and scenic and sensual atmosphere laced with betrayal in this adrenaline-fueled sequel to Killing Eve: Codename Villanelle (2018), the book that spawned the BBC America series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
