International art sleuth Adriana Villa is on the move again. But this time, she’s not tracking down priceless stolen paintings or sculptures. This time, Adriana is chasing terrorists. Recruited by her friend June, Adriana has joined Shadow Cell, a covert agency that hunts the world’s most dangerous mass murderers, striking them where they live, where they kill—where they hide. But as her team moves in on a weapons-smuggling cell in Istanbul, Adriana’s cover is blown. Turns out members of the Red Ring, the most secretive, most lethal terrorists in the world have been watching her, too. To save the lives of the innocent thousands targeted by the terrorists’ weapons of death, Adriana and June race across Southern Europe as their intel leads them up the chain of command and deeper into the heart of the shadowy power behind the Red Ring. Fresh off the runaway success of his wildly popular Sean Wyatt thriller series, USA TODAY best-selling author Ernest Dempsey again electrifies readers with his newest edge-of-your-seat shocker. Adriana Villa is a ruthless modern-day hero in a deadly modern-day fight for freedom, and she’ll have to fight nearly as dirty as the enemy to save all our lives
