What doesn't kill you / What does not kill you. Iris Johansen. - 1st ed. - New York : St. Martin's Press, 2012. - 406 p. ; 25 cm.
ADVENTURE / THRILLER. From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author comes an explosive new thriller featuring Catherine Ling from "Chasing The Night." Catherine Ling was abandoned on the streets of Hong Kong at age four. Schooled in the art of survival, she traded in the only commodity she had: information. As a teenager, she came under the tutelage of a mysterious man known only as Hu Chang--a skilled assassin and master poisoner. As a young woman, she was recruited by the CIA and now, she is known as one of their most effective operatives. Having lived life in the shadows, Catherine is aware of the wobbly moral compass of her existence and even more aware of just how expendable she is to those she deals with. When her old friend Hu Chang creates something so deadly, and completely untraceable, the chase is on to be the first to get it.
