Two Knights Tango

Tagan Shepard

I'll see you in Chicago. 
 
 
 
Those words echoed in Marisol Soltero's mind as she sprinted across Bogota. Back in Chicago, she waited outside Governor Sabrina Sloane's luxury condo, needing to see the woman she loved return to safety. But Sabrina didn't return. Not to Chicago and not to Marisol. 
 
 
 
That was six months ago. Now a series of disappearances in Humboldt Park provide the distraction Marisol needs. Her people are going missing. Snatched off the street right under her nose. Clues are sparse, but Marisol's gut tells her the culprit is her old enemy. 
 
 
 
Governor Sabrina Sloane has become a shadow of herself. She haunts the halls of the Governor's Mansion, both her work and personal life flooded with nightmares. She knows Marisol is in danger, perhaps even more now that she's back in Chicago, and Sloane will do anything it takes to keep the woman she loves safe. Even if it means confronting the man at the center of her nightmares. 
 
 
 
But when two chess pieces are directed at the same enemy, they can get in each other's way. If Marisol and Sabrina get the moves right, they could tango back into each other's arms. If not, all of Chicago could pay the price.

There Wilson learns that the Iranian submarine is just a cover story. One of the United States' own fully automated unmanned underwater vehicles has gone rogue, its programing corrupted in some way. Murray is charged with hunting it down and taking it out before the virus that's infected its operating system can infect the rest of the fleet. 
 
 
 
At the same time, the head of the SEAL detachment aboard the USS Michigan is killed and Lonnie Mixell, a former US operative, now assassin for hire, is responsible. And that is only the first SEAL to be hunted down and killed. Jake Harrison, fellow SEAL, discovers that these SEALs had one mission in common—they were all on the team that killed Bin Laden. Or so the world was told. 
 
 
 
As Wilson discovers that his mission is actually meant to cover up dangerous acts of corruption, even treason, Harrison discovers that the assassin is out to protect the same forces. Forces too powerful for either of them to take on alone.
