Compass and Stiletto

Arthur Esmond is a mildly eccentric secret agent with a dark past, a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later and a (completely rational…he thinks) fear of elevators. He works alone.

Marianne Lefevre is a sophisticated spy with an ordinary past, a sharp wit (of course she asks questions first, she’s not a barbarian) and a particularly deadly pair of stilettos (the knives, not the shoes). She’s stuck working with Arthur.

HIVE is the organization that’s dead set on destroying a large chunk of humanity.

Arthur and Marianne have a few weeks to stop them or die trying. And death never did seem like a good idea.
