Angol
She has spent ten years hunting two people: the ones who ordered the bombing - and the stranger who carried her out of the rubble.
Interpol just handed her both.
Mara Voss is a forensic accountant who speaks the language of financial crime better than she speaks her own. When her handler gives her Operation Compact - dismantle the criminal empire of Aleksander Drač, capo of the Eastern Adriatic's most powerful syndicate - she says yes before he finishes speaking.
She recognised the photograph before he did.
Aleksander Drač has controlled the port city of Kotor and everything that moves through it for twenty years. He is methodical, patient, and absolutely certain that the woman Interpol just sent to destroy him is the same woman he pulled from a Sarajevo marketplace a decade ago - the woman he has spent ten years quietly ensuring stayed alive, without her knowledge and without her permission.
She is the only person on earth who can ruin him.
He is the only person on earth who actually knows her.
As Mara dismantles his empire one shell company at a time, she begins to understand that the operation she was sent on is not what she was told - and that the greatest threat to her life is not the crime lord she is hunting, but the man who sent her to hunt him.
Some truths cost everything. Some men are worth the price.
