Deeply in love, a chic Parisian lifestyle before her. Now Mel’s facing prison for murder. Three days ago, Mélisende des Pittones walked away from her career as a French special forces intelligence analyst to marry the man she loved – high-flying financial trader Gérard Rohlbert. But her dream shatters when she wakes to find him dead beside her. Her nightmare worsens when Met Police detective Jeff McCracken is determined to pin Gérard’s death on her. To clear her name, Mel must track down the real killer – no matter the cost. Even if it means working with the insufferable McCracken. As she unravels Gérard’s secrets, she stumbles into a shadowy world of international money laundering, deception, and terrorism. Forced undercover, she soon realizes everyone around her is hiding a double life. And trusting the wrong person could be lethal. Mel is running out of time. Can she catch the real killer before she becomes the next target? A gripping, fast-paced thriller from the award-winning author of the Roma Nova series. Perfect for fans of Daniel Silva, Stella Rimington, and Chris Pavone.
