A QUESTION OF LOYALTIES

Jack McCarthy had always loved hurting people and had turned his passion into a very lucrative business. He was thrilled that his current contract was a good looking woman in her late thirties, but this time there was a twist. His employer wanted her held for ransom and the payoff would not be monetary. Nicole Devlin found the irony laughable. She had survived being a cop in Boston for many years, and now on vacation in Italy, was probably going to die. She promised herself that the man pushing a gun into her back would not walk away from this unscathed. Susan Roberts followed Nicole Devlin and her abductor at two in the morning alongside a canal in Venice, Beretta in hand, as she struggled with a recently discovered secret that would change her life forever. Before the madness is over, a prostitute, an Italian thief, a French police lieutenant, and a Boston private-eye become deeply involved in a chase that ends in the underbelly of Paris. Two will not survive.
