She's hunting arms smugglers. But who is hunting her? One dead body, two badly injured operatives and five crates of hijacked rifles. In Rome, former French special forces intelligence analyst Mélisende des Pittones is frustrated by obnoxious local cops and ruthless thugs. Despite the backing of the powerful European Investigation and Regulation Service, her case is going nowhere. Then an unknown woman tries to blow her head off. As Mel and fellow investigator Jeff McCracken attempt to get a grip on the criminal network as well as on their own unpredictable relationship, all roads point to the place she dreads - the arid and remote African Sahel - where she was once betrayed and nearly died. Can Mel conquer her fear as she races to smash the network and save her colleague's life?
