A perfect life can collapse in a matter of seconds …

Charles and Mary form a marriage that embodies the vivid image of success: he is a prosperous businessman who comes from an illustrious family of American politicians and she, a brilliant surgeon of great renown.

However, his dream life is truncated by the tragic death of his eldest son in a skiing accident. The parents, stricken with pain and grief, decide to spend the summer in Turkey to start rebuilding their lives along with their young daughter Michelle. But those that must have been an idyllic vacation take a terrible and abrupt turn when the girl disappears.

The investigation initially points to a kidnapping committed by Islamic extremists or Kurdish terrorists, but the tense inquiries of the FBI and the Turkish police are clouded by clues that point to the trafficking of women and girls, obscure characters with pedophilia and even the parents themselves.

As a paramedic, Sam is used to blood and death, but this guy's story is off the charts. Sam doesn't need the drama. Why get involved? Because the Pope has just died a few days ago — and he's the one in the video.

Has a hidden civil war in the Vatican erupted? Are opposing forces from Rome pursuing the video as well? With two beautiful women and some nasty thugs in pursuit, Sam had better figure out the players fast if he's going to survive. A billion people need the truth, a typhoon is on the horizon, and one hundred feet below the surface, it's beginning to heat up.

From Cozumel and California, to Korea and Bali, Sam must choose to save lives, or take them. Once again, he'll need all of his skills and cunning, or this retrieval will be his last.

When a frantic woman comes to Georgia claiming that her neighbor, Nicholas Drake, has been abducted by the notorious Duke of Blackford, Georgia and the Archivist Society agree to take the case. But Drake is no innocent — he is a thief who has been blackmailing many of the leading members of London society. To find Drake and discover who is behind his abduction, Georgia and her beautiful assistant, Emma, will have to leave the cozy confines of their bookshop and infiltrate the inner circles of the upper crust — with the help of the dashing but dubious Duke of Blackford himself.

But the missing thief and his abductor are not the only ones to elude Georgia Fenchurch. When she spies the man who killed her parents years ago, she vows to bring him to justice once and for all … at any cost.
