Jill "Red Mist" Keyes

Jill "Red Mist" Keyes is one of the High Table's top assassins. And she's just learned that her mentor, the man who trained her and brought her to the High Table, is dead. Back at the Continental in New York, she's going to do what she can to learn the truth of what happened.

On her way back to New York, she picked up a side job to take out a gang that was pushing drugs at local schools. The hit was placed on them not because of their pushing death on children, but simply because they were doing it in another gang's territory. Such was the life of a High Table assassin. You took the job, and didn't ask questions. Killing a few dozen thugs for some other group of thugs was just how it went.

She also learned that Miguel Gutierrez, the man who trained her and brought her to the High Table, was dead. She had few details, other than he died on a job. High Table rules prevented assassins getting access to the jobs of others. But this was personal, and she had to figure out a way to learn just what happened. Who was Miguel after? How did he die? And who would have to pay?

Now she was back at the Continental. After checking in at the front de
