Profilo basso e sangue freddo. Artiglio - nome guadagnato sul campo - conosce alla perfezione le regole del mestiere: prima di tutto non dare mai nell'occhio. Capelli grigi, pantaloni neri, e un viso che è una ragnatela di rughe, sembra proprio una signora in età come tante, una vecchina che si confonde nel vagone della metropolitana di Seul il venerdì sera.

Hornclaw is a 65-year-old female contract killer who is considering retirement. A fighter who has experienced loss and grief early on in life, she lives in a state of self-imposed isolation, with just her dog, Deadweight, for company. While on an assassination job for the 'disease control' company she works for, Hornclaw makes an uncharacteristic error, causing a sequence of events that brings her past well and truly into the present.

At sixty-five, Hornclaw is beginning to slow down. She lives modestly in a small apartment, with only her aging dog, a rescue named Deadweight, to keep her company. There are expectations for people her age—that she'll retire and live out the rest of her days quietly. But Hornclaw is not like other people. She is an assassin. Double-crossers, corporate enemies, cheating spouses—for the past four decades, Hornclaw has killed them all with ruthless efficiency, and the less she's known about her targets, the better. But now, nearing the end of her career, she has just slipped up.

Esistono luoghi capaci di farti sentire accolto anche solo per l'atmosfera e il profumo che si respirano al loro interno, e la pasticceria di questo romanzo è esattamente così: aperta ventiquattr'ore su ventiquattro, a prima vista sembra un normale forno dove comprare pane, torte e biscotti con un signore un po' burbero dietro il banco. All'apparenza, però. Perché, quando il ragazzino protagonista di questa storia lo sceglie come rifugio per scappare da una situazione familiare difficile, la realtà che trova è ben diversa.
