      Covert CIA ops officer Vanessa Pierson has devoted her career to capturing Bhoot, the world’s most notorious nuclear arms dealer. Her mission is complicated by the murders of her assets, betrayed by a mole within her agency. After narrowly escaping a devastating explosion at the Louvre, she suspects Bhoot orchestrated the attack. However, when an unknown militant group claims responsibility and threatens more violence, she must reconsider her assumptions, especially when Bhoot contacts her to deny involvement and warns that a miniaturized nuclear device may be in more dangerous hands than his. Although she knows Bhoot is untrustworthy, Vanessa fears a new threat to global stability may have emerged. As her investigation brings her closer to identifying the mole and the terrorists’ true plans, she finds herself reluctantly forming a perilous alliance with one of the world’s most dangerous criminals—a man who has become her darkest obsession and possibly her savior. Moving swiftly from Paris to Amsterdam, Venice, and Istanbul, the story unfolds as a nerve-shattering, intricately woven thriller about the mission to capture a brilliant and elusive mastermind, marking an exhilarating new chapter in Vanessa Pierson's saga.
