Art dealer Mathew Burbank thought the events that occurred years ago were finally behind him, until he sees the man who committed murder in Hong Kong now in the states making threats. Shaken and a little sick that the FBI have requested his presence, Mathew comes home to find his wife unconscious and bound to a chair with blood dripping from a head wound. He automatically knows he must enlist his daughter, Sloane, for help. The FBI is beginning to connect the Red Dragon faction to Mathew's group of long-time friends, but the threats to his family are beyond his expertise. Mathew can only hope that Sloane can get him out of this mess without involving her boyfriend, the FBI agent.
Former FBI Special Agent Sloane Burbank is finally getting her life in order. She has a successful security consulting job, a sexy and handsome boyfriend and the injury to her hand almost two years ago is finally starting to heal. Moving in with Special Agent Derek Parker is a huge step in their relationship, but the frantic phone call from her father with news of the attack on Sloane's mother is the beginning of keeping facts from the man she has sworn to be honest with. The request to act as her father's legal counsel ensures the story Mathew has to tell stays with Sloane and not the FBI. Considering Derek is part of a team specializing in Asian crime lords, particularly the Red Dragon, Sloane must find a way to get on his team while protecting her family at all costs.
This sequel to TWISTED by Andrea Kane is an action- packed thriller involving money, power, weakness and compromises. I could not put it down. An awesome read!
Former FBI Special Agent Sloane Burbank has seen her share
of danger. She's faced down a serial killer and survived
life-threatening injuries . . . but she never expected that
danger to invade the lives of her family. . . .
Then her mother is viciously attacked in the posh Manhattan
apartment her parents share and it quickly becomes clear
that this is no ordinary robbery. The thieves were too
clever, too knowledgeable, and so obviously after something
of her father's. But what could a respected art dealer have
done to merit such violence? When a mysterious message is
left for him, Sloane knows her father's in over his head.
Determined to find out the truth, Sloane discovers a deadly
secret buried in his past that has made him the target of a
power-hungry mobster with a lethal agenda and nothing to lose.
Sloane is desperate to save her father, but to do so she
must hold on to secrets of her own--especially from FBI
Special Agent Derek Parker, the man she has grown to love
deeply. She knows she must tell him everything, but how can
she betray her father's confidence? Can a couple who's faced
so much survive this ultimate test of trust? Will they
survive at all? As the decades-old secret claims the lives
of her father's oldest friends and the killer closes in on
him, Sloane finds herself in foreign territory: alone,
facing escalating personal danger, and hunting a moving
target in a world where memories are long and loyalties are
drawn in blood.
