The Scorpion: Innocence Dies. A Killer is Born. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246139073)

They took her family. She took their lives.

On the night of her high school graduation, Sandy Kraus has the world at her feet: a fortune in the bank, a trip to New York planned, and a bright future in law ahead of her. But under the eerie light of a blood moon, that future is obliterated in twisted metal and shattered glass.

The police call it a tragic accident. Sandy calls it an execution.

When the system fails her, Sandy rejects her inheritance and her former life. She travels to the dark underbelly of Osaka, Japan, where she submits herself to the brutal tutelage of Kenji, a disgraced Yakuza master. Through pain, hunger, and discipline, she strips away her humanity to become a living weapon.

Years later, she returns to Germany. The scared girl is gone. In her place stands "The Scorpion"-a lethal assassin with a list of names and a thirst for vengeance that can only be quenched with blood. From the glitzy parties of Berlin's underworld to the yachts of the Côte d'Azur, she hunts the men who ordered her parents' death.

But as she climbs the ladder of the conspiracy, Sandy discovers a truth more devastating than the murder itself. The person holding the leash is the one she trusted most.

A high-octane revenge thriller about the cost of justice and the birth of a legend.
