Its Whats Inside That Counts Something lurks inside Deena Riordan. She never once questioned her life in the criminal underworld as the star of Mr. Marshs illegal empire and his youngest assassin. Her ruthless demeanor and dark magical powers have kept her at the top of the heap for years. But one day she pushes the sorcery too far and something snaps. Only then does Deena realize shes always been a puppet of that dark power with no true will of her own. Now, in order to get out of the crime business for good, she needs to save her sister from Marshs angry clutches. It wont be easy. Shell have to make her way through friends turned foes, dodge determined federal agents, and stay out of a particularly stubborn fellow hitmans sights. Worst of all, Deena will have to wrestle with the darkness inside to keep it from swallowing her up again.
