Margaret Harrison. Her friends know her as Meg, the successful owner of a boutique business consulting firms in Philadelphia.
Her closest friends know she had a dark, disturbing past – one she works to leave behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no one knows that, when not brokering multi-million dollar corporate mergers or volunteering to help teach a women’s self-defense class, Meg utilizes her skills for an even more exclusive set of clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clients who pay top dollar to keep their own hands clean.
Clients who pay her to kill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hit Lady for Hire<\/em> series follows Meg through these contracts – jobs that aren’t always as easy as they might appear to be on the surface, jobs that sometimes brush up against her own deeply-rooted issues and push the emotional buttons she tries to keep locked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
