Revenge of Xinli

3,876.That's how many men Xinli has killed.She doesn't remember their names. She doesn't remember their faces. She remembers the number. The number is all she has.At six years old, Xinli crawled out from under her mother's corpse at a wedding massacre. She had candy in her pockets and blood in her hair. Her family-two hundred eighteen people-were dead. And she made a promise: every single person responsible would die.Twenty-one years later, she's still counting.Trained from childhood by a ruthless assassin named Fen, Xinli has become a ghost-a weapon wrapped in skin, moving through the criminal underworld with two engraved Berettas and a kill count that grows by the hour. She hunts the men of the Shing Fong Wo triad across three countries. She kills them in warehouses and nightclubs and golden hotel suites. She breaks their bones and watches the light leave their eyes.But the number is a hole. The more she puts into it, the bigger it gets.When she meets Jun-a young father she spared years ago-Xinli begins to question everything. Is revenge justice, or is it just violence wearing a mask? Does mercy make you weak, or does it make you human? And when she finally has her hands around the throat of the man who ordered the massacre, she discovers the most terrifying truth of all: Killing the last name on the list won't bring back the dead. It will only leave her empty.3,930 kills. One hole in her chest. And a garden at the end.Revenge of Xinli is a visceral, emotional revenge thriller for readers who loved Kill Bill, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and The Count of Monte Cristo. It is brutal, bloody, and surprisingly tender-a story about grief, survival, and the impossible choice between becoming a monster or becoming nothing at all.Warning: This novel contains graphic violence, torture, child death, and themes of trauma and loss. Reader discretion is advised.
