Description:

They've spent their lives as the deadliest assassins in a clandestine international organization, but now that they're sixty years old, four women friends can't just retire - it's kill or be killed in this action-packed thriller.  Older women often feel invisible, but sometimes that's their secret weapon.

Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, & Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for forty years.  Now their talents are considered old-school & no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills.  When the foursome is sent on an all-expenses-paid vacation to mark their retirement, they are targeted by one of their own.  Only the Board, the top-level members of the Museum, can order the termination of field agents, & the women realize they've been marked for death.

Now to get out alive they have to turn against their own organization, relying on experience & each other to get the job done, knowing that working together is the secret to their survival.  They're about to teach the Board what it really means to be a woman - and a killer - of a certain age.
