Description
Truth Never Dies.
It had been solely personal. Not anymore.
Determined to lay the ghosts of her past, Cassandra Fortune asks a former head of GCHQ for help, only to receive a message from beyond the grave. A riddle to puzzle out and a murder to solve.
She revisits an old betrayal in an ancient land, uncovering subterfuge and treason. Yet, as Christmas approaches, a shadowy presence haunts her footsteps. His criminal network shattered, the diabolical villain is back. And he wants what's his.
What is real and what only appears to be? Who can be trusted and who is double-dealing? Cassie must find the truth. And survive.
