She escaped her mother's control-only to become something far more dangerous.
Natalia believes she's finally free from her mother's suffocating grip when she leaves home for New York City. A self-described misfit desperate for connection, she's drawn east by the discovery of a stepbrother she never knew existed-Daniel. Determined to earn his love and acceptance, Natalia carefully shapes herself into the sister she thinks he wants.
But her real life tells a much darker story.
By day, Natalia works for Stuart, an eccentric corporate powerhouse with a disturbing side business: discreetly eliminating retired pension recipients. With a talent for making each death appear natural or accidental, Natalia justifies her actions by focusing on her victims' perceived flaws. Her skills are improving. And the line between right and wrong grows thinner with every job.
As Natalia becomes entangled with Stuart, his wife, and a promising romantic interest, the pressure of maintaining her double life begins to crack her carefully constructed facade. When Daniel grows suspicious, Natalia is forced into a deadly balancing act-one misstep could expose everything.
How long can she keep her secrets before the truth destroys the life she's built?
Making a Killing is a dark, gripping psychological thriller about identity, deception, and the lethal consequences of living a double life.
