Summary

Zee is a professional hit woman living in Paris who is regularly employed by Finn, an Irishman working for crime lord Jules Gobert, to eliminate Gobert’s rivals in the drug business. Her violent lifestyle has left her with few things to enjoy, including the friendship of an old high-class tailor named Tessier, who provides her with disguises for her jobs, keeping a goldfish, and solving crossword puzzles.
