Don’t miss the epic and unforgettable new standalone thriller from Chris Hammer, full of intrigue and revenge, love and redemption. . .
‘If there is enough money involved, truth becomes a tradeable commodity.
Like gold, it is malleable; it can be melted down and recast without losing its value.’
Travis Somerland is man accustomed to danger – but nothing can prepare him the for the peril, the intrigue or the ruthlessness that confront him at Montechino. Or the murders.
Montechino: part palace and part fortress, the secluded estate of the uber-wealthy Felix Cantor, a modern-day robber baron who think business is arithmetic, not morality.
When Cantor ignites a generations-old feud with one of the nation’s most powerful dynasties, Travis is thrust into a deadly struggle where murder is merely another bargaining chip.
Now, if he wants to bring justice to an unjust world, he’ll first have to figure out how to stay alive.
