Sinister Little Serenade
(2025)(The sixth book in the Holiday Quick Kills series)
A Story by Joan De La Haye
Most people visit Venice for gondolas, gelato, and the Vogalonga. I came to assassinate a former CIA asset named Giovanni Malvetti.
Malvetti isn’t just a target—he’s a message. One bullet, one splash, and one body sinking beneath the festive chaos of Venice’s biggest rowing event. Clean. Efficient. Professional.
At least, it was supposed to be.
But—as usual—my agent Jane had to complicate things with one of her ‘competency tests.’ Now I’m racing through opera houses, diving down alleyways, and sprinting across sinking city streets with half of Italy’s law enforcement on my heels.
If you love cat-and-mouse chases through romantic cities, assassins with trust issues, and tension sharper than a stiletto blade, Sinister Little Serenade will steal your breath, your passport, and maybe your heart—before vanishing in the crowd.
Genre: Thriller
