An action-packed, blood-soaked, futuristic debut thriller--set in a world where the murder rate is higher than the birthrate--by Lindsay Cummings, co-author (with Sasha Alsberg) of the New York Times #1 Bestseller Zenith. Legend meets La Femme Nikita in this dark and dangerous bloody thriller. The nonstop action of The Murder Complex kept us guessing at every twist and turn. It's a must for fans of action-packed dystopians like The Hunger Games and Divergent.--Justine Magazine
Meadow Woodson, a fifteen-year-old girl who has been trained by her father to fight, to kill, and to survive in any situation, lives with her family on a houseboat in Florida. The state is controlled by The Murder Complex, an organization that tracks the population with precision. The plot starts to thicken when Meadow meets Zephyr James, who is--although he doesn't know it--one of the MC's programmed assassins. Is their meeting a coincidence? Destiny? Or part of a terrifying strategy? And will Zephyr keep Meadow from discovering the haunting truth about her family? Action-packed, blood-soaked, and chilling, this is a dark and compelling debut novel by Lindsay Cummings.
- Enemies to Lovers: He's a programmed assassin. She's a trained survivor. When they meet, their collision is either destiny or a death sentence.

- Post-Apocalyptic Survival: Living on a houseboat in a flooded, dangerous Florida, Meadow has been trained for one thing: survival. But nothing can prepare her for Zephyr.
