A moonlight sail. A sniper on the shore. A terrorist financier determined to kill Jacob and all he holds dear.
Interpol Special Agent Jacob Coulter and his fiancée Riley Williams set out on a moonlight sail, but a sniper turns their idyllic Austrin vacation into a deadly nightmare.
On temporary assignment to the Vienna Interpol office, Jacob must apprehend a notorious terrorist financier and uncover his operations in Austria. But the financier is determined to destroy all Jacob holds dear. And that includes his kid sister and his fiancée, Riley Williams.
Opera singer Riley Williams is tired of dodging terrorist attempts on her life. When she insists on helping Jacob catch the financier and his henchmen, she gets into more trouble than she bargained for.
But the financier’s tentacles of evil reach far deeper into the Austrian economy than Jacob and Riley suspected. What they uncover appalls them. The clock is ticking. Can Jacob find them before it’s too late?
Book Excerpt
Jacob eyed the starboard shore. With buoyancy vests on, they couldn’t swim below the surface. Apart from his navy-blue windbreaker and pants they were a floating target in white. Hull, sails, Riles’ outfit. “How are your swimming skills?”
“I do laps.” Her teeth chattered. “In a heated pool.”
“The brochure said this is Austria’s warmest lake.”
“Right. A regular hot tub.”
“If we stay with the boat, it’ll be easier for the police to find us.”
“And the assassin.” She zipped his waterproofed phone inside his pocket. “Is he toying with us or just a lousy shot?”
A chuckle strangled in his throat. “Want me to ask him?”
“Yes.” Fire flashed from her eyes. “When you catch him.”
The dinghy listed to port. Soon they’d be exposed in the cockpit. They’d have to shift to the starboard side to delay capsizing. Or jump overboard. Either way the killer could pick them off blindfolded.
“Riles, the boat’s sinking. Take off your Mae West, the hat, and puffer. Put on my jacket so you’re not such a white bull’s eye.”
“Aye, aye, captain.” She wiggled on the cockpit floor, squirming out of the vests, then whipped off her hat.
“Once you’re overboard, hold the life preserver away from you. Keep your legs below the surface.” With one hand on the mainsheet, he shrugged out of his jacket, wadded her puffer inside her hat as best he could.
