Blood Trigger

April “The Tarantula” Righetti has been an assassin — for too long. After her latest kill, in which she hesitates before following through, she considers retiring from the business — a notion her handler scoffs at. On her next assignment, April falls in love with her target and envisions a better and more normal life for herself. However, her failure to finish her assignment triggers a bloody and surprising end result.
