She used to
work for the U.S. government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in
her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it
doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came
for her without warning.
Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.
When her former handler offers her a way out, she realises it's her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous.
Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of.

Setelah bertahun-tahun tidak
terdengar kabarnya, kini mendadak Stephenie Meyer menerbitkan dua novel
sekaligus, yaitu Life & Death
(Twilight edisi ulang tahun ke-10 yang juga berisi cerita a la fanfiction dimana
peran antara Edward dan Bella ditukar) yang kemudian disusul oleh The Chemist, terbit 8 November kemarin.
The Chemist yang mengambil genre thriller
ini berbeda seratus delapan puluh derajat dari novel-novel Stephenie Meyer
sebelumnya, dengan tidak adanya unsur supernatural dalam bentuk apapun dan hanya
berfokus pada espionage.
