DEATH WATCH

Coming soon

Nova Winterborne is busy. She has a life to rebuild. Traumas to recover from. A past to forget. She may regard recent experiences as a karmic blip. But Karma has not finished with her.

There is no hiding from this relentless murderer. She brings a religious zeal to her work and a sacrificial element to each crime. She is on a mission. She has followers. She has Nova firmly in her sights.
