Executioner Synopsis: Blood Vendetta is book 409 in Don Pendleton’s Executioner series. When an American hacker hacks a Russian mob boss’ account, thereby revealing a terrorist plot against the United States and making her a target of the Russian mafia. Not only are they after her, but she is terribly outmatched. Now that she can prevent millions of death with this intel, Mack Bolan must find her before the Russians can get to her. But what might be a bit of an issue is that no one knows what she looks like.
