You do not have a future if you do not stay alive
now.
It is the early 90s and Frank Cardova, his wife, Maryann, and his daughter, Theresa, have become targets of an associate of the Vory, Russian thieves under the code working for a foreign intelligence operative. They turn for help to Charlemagne, the premier freelance specialist team used by western governments for black operations conducted without fingerprints.
The
team, or rather its leader’s wife, Alex, has another agenda
concerning Theresa, whose long-ago act of mercy has been twisted
into a grudge by its recipient, a childhood friend turned vory
killer. Alex hopes Theresa’s past attraction for her stepson will
re-ignite. But first, her husband and his team must save Theresa’s
life.
As Charlemagne struggles to eliminate the threat to Frank and his family, the team uncovers evidence that this intersection of crime and intelligence threatens one of their own and perhaps the team’s very existence.
How
many of their own lives will it cost Charlemagne to rescue Frank’s
family?
Vory is the sixth novel in K.A. Bachus’s fast-paced Charlemagne Files series chronicling the lives of a team of deadly Cold War intelligence operatives over three decades.
