Part of Joe Ledger, book 4.2
First published 2013
Joe Ledger finds himself in the streets of Paris, where something deadly waits beneath the cobblestones. Three decades earlier, the enigmatic Mr. Church joined forces with an assassin named Lilith to prevent a catastrophic weapon from being unleashed on innocent people. They succeeded in burying the threat, but their victory was temporary. Now the same evil stirs once more, clawing its way back toward the surface. Ledger must work alongside Violin, the lethal daughter of the original assassin Lilith. Together they race against time to prevent the weapon from plunging the world into chaos. The partnership tests both operatives as they navigate the dangerous underworld of Paris, where allies are scarce and enemies multiply with each passing hour. At stake is not just the city, but the fate of countless innocents who remain unaware of the shadow creeping toward them.
