When you’re being hunted across Europe, trust is the deadliest weapon. Fleeing England to evade the authorities, Mary Fox knows her reputation for outsmarting death will be tested like never before. Agreeing to help the handsome Angelo di Luca return his family's stolen jewel may just have been a mistake. But there's no time for regrets; now it’s all about survival. A determined enemy shadows their every move, seeking murderous revenge. From misty Dutch canals to treacherous Alpine peaks, through the crowded streets of Milan to the grand palazzos of Florence, Mary finds herself in a deadly game of cat and mouse with her cunning adversary. Each safe house could be a trap, each ally a potential betrayer. In Florence, Mary gets caught up in a deadly plot against Duke Alessandro de Medici, and is held a prisoner. Can she escape before the deadline to return the jewel runs out? And will it be her enemy that seals her fate, or an explosive eruption of fiery lava lurking under the Bay of Naples In this deadly dance of shadows and fire, has the legendary Mary Fox finally met her match? Readers have said: “Mary Fox's latest adventure takes her to Italy in the company of the dashing Angelo di Luca. With danger at every turn, enemies both old and new, and twist after twist, this starts as a very good story and ends as a gripping read that I couldn't put down. I loved it.” “We see a softer side to Mary Fox as she falls for Angelo, but this does not dampen her desire to do the right thing or her ability to outsmart and outfight the deadliest of foes. All action it's Mary's best adventure yet.” Show more
