About this item

The #1 New York Times bestselling author spins an epic tale of loyalty, treachery, murder, and the long shadow of war ... . His passport read Giovanni Rossi. But decades ago, during the Urban Wars, he was part of a small, secret organization called The Twelve. Responding to an urgent summons from an old compatriot, he landed in New York and eased into the waiting car. And died within minutes ... . Lieutenant Eve Dallas finds the Rossi case frustrating. She's got an elderly victim who'd just arrived from Rome; a widow who knows nothing about why he'd left; an as-yet unidentifiable weapon; and zero results on facial recognition. But when she finds a connection to the Urban Wars of the 2020s, she thinks Summerset -- fiercely loyal, if somewhat grouchy, major-domo and the man who'd rescued her husband from the Dublin streets -- may know something from his stint as a medic in Europe back then.
