The 2nd novel in the first Jet trilogy takes place immediately after the first. Jet managed to steal back her daughter, but she was immediately kidnapped by shady elements in the CIA. In exchange for her daughter's return, the CIA wants Jet to fly to the Phillipines and assassinate the "White Devil" where their own hit squads have failed. They also want her to retrieve the 50 million dollars that he stole, and agree to pay her a million dollars if she succeeds.
When Jet finally makes contact, it turns out that things aren't at all what they seemed. Can she untangle things and figure out a way to get Hannah back?
The CIA/worldwide drug operation plot is a bit far-fetched (I think...) but the smaller plot elements work well.

Betrayal is the second installment in the Jet series by Russell Blake. In this installment, Jet is coerced by a CIA operative into agreeing to assassinate a rogue agent…Only it turns out that she was lied to in order to rid a kink (the rogue agent) that would have jeopardized a global heroine scheme. In typical bad ass fashion, Jet finds out the truth and handles those who betrayed her. Jet is reunited with her long lost daughter, Hannah. The only thing that bothered me is the ease with which Hannah trusted Jet after being raised by the only “parents” she’s known in her two short years. Other than that, the story was fast paced, action packed, and well developed. The ending was rather surprising and I can’t wait to see what happens in the third installment, Vengeance. It is shocking that every man Jet get close to ends up dying...
