The Exit Strategy: The first book in the Nadia Stafford book series. In this installment, Nadia Stafford was at one point a good police officer.

However, as it is the case with a majority of the new businesses, money was somehow slow to come in. Furthermore, the lodge faced the danger of being shut down a few years after it had been officially opened. This was when Nadia was presented with an offer by one of the local mob family to become their official hit woman. At this point, Nadia cannot complain. She has all the resources at her disposal to ensure that the lodge keeps on running until it was ready to take off.
The business was showing all the right signs of taking off as well. She has a deep understanding of the type of jobs that small time mobs such as the one that hired her wanted to be done. So far, she has not been handed with any job, which violates her sense of honor. All the jobs that she has been handed include taking out rival gang families. However, it does not take long before a series of murders begins to hit the United States, and all these murders were known as the works of a serial killer known as Helter Skelter. Thus, Nadia once again is forced to team up with her mentor, to try and catch the serial killer.

What Is The Next Book in The Nadia Stafford Series?
There doesn't seem to be an upcoming book in The Nadia Stafford Series. The newest book is Perfect Victim and was released on November, 3rd 2017.
When you hear about a character who is a part-time assassin and former cop who murdered a suspect, certain things come to mind. A man for one, you know the type. Hard drinking and probably a womanizer to boot.
Not the case here. Those first facts are true about Nadia Stafford, but not the latter ones. This is one bad-ass chick who is longer apart of the law, but sort of a law unto herself. This is a series that digs its nails into you and won’t let you go until you read them all.
