Summary

They should have known better.
 
Two years after exposing the head of The Committee, Foxy is free - or so she thought. While vacationing at a resort in Mexico, her past comes back to haunt her.
 
The new head of The Committee wants rid of her for good. When tragedy strikes and all that Foxy has gained is taken away from her again, she seeks revenge. Rejoining Old Man and Brendan Thor, Foxy learns of The Committee’s latest scheme to control the world’s population. The enemy has joined forces with Guy Masters, a brilliant CEO of a tech company in San Francisco, to control truth through deepfakes and misinformation. But who is Old Man really? And what is his end game?
 
With everyone around her seeking their own agendas, Foxy’s remains simple: kill the men responsible for stealing her newfound freedom. By any means necessary.
 
An action-packed thriller, HARDENED is the second book in the Foxy Valdez series by Brian Cotton.

    Tokyo, 1979. Yoriko Shindo, a workhorse of a woman who has been an outcast her whole life, is kidnapped and dragged to the lair of the Naiki-kai, a branch of the yakuza. After she savagely fends off a throng of henchmen in an attempt to escape, Shindo is only permitted to live under one condition: that she will become the bodyguard and driver for Shoko Naiki, the obsessively sheltered daughter of the gang’s boss. 
 
Eighteen-year-old Shoko, pretty and silent as a doll, has no friends, wears strangely old-fashioned clothes, and is naive in all matters of life. Originally disdaining her ward, Shindo soon finds herself far more invested in Shoko’s wellbeing than she ever expected. But every man around them is bloodthirsty and trigger-happy. Shindo doubts she and Shoko will survive much longer if nothing changes. Could there ever be a different life for two women like them? 
 
Akira Otani’s English-language debut moves boldly through time and across gender, stretching the definitions and possibilities of each concept. Rendered in a gorgeous translation by International Booker–shortlisted Sam Bett, this lean, mean thriller proves that bonds forged in fire are unbreakable. 
 
“Otani’s explosive debut navigates gender and time, offering a gripping, unbreakable thriller.”—Tokyo Weekender
