Now she has nothing left to lose…With the scars of her last case still fresh on her skin, DI Jamie Johansson is piecing together a puzzle that's been buried for twenty years. It killed her father, and now she's determined to finish what he started and expose the corruption threaded through every street of Stockholm.When a series of violent incidents rock Jamie's fragile existence in Sweden, she's faced with a choice — drop the case, or have her loan to Stockholm Police terminated.Jamie must let go of everything she once believed in, and call in all the favours she can to find a chink in the impenetrable armour of the shadowy Imperium Holdings. They aren't above extortion, bribery, murder, or anything else. And they don't like it when people ask questions. Jamie wouldn't be the first determined detective they've silenced, but she may be the last.From gritty, blood-soaked city streets to desolate and deadly frozen tundras, this case will take Jamie all across Scandinavia in pursuit of the men responsible for shattering her life. They thought they weakened her by prising her from the protection of the Stockholm Police, but really, they just cut the chain around her neck…Jamie Johansson is out for blood. Old Blood. And she won't stop until she gets it.

  “I’ve never known Mack to make a threat he was not prepared to carry out,” I said carefully. “He doesn’t bluff.” 
  Frank Cardova provides logistic support for a highly effective team of deadly operatives known as Charlemagne, the premier freelance specialist team used by western governments for black operations conducted without fingerprints. Mack, the team’s knife-wielding leader, and his son Charlie arrive on Frank’s doorstep bringing chaos, terror and violence with them. 
  The last thing Frank ever wants to see is Louis, the volatile marksman of the team, anywhere near his home, let along sitting at the kitchen table drinking a martini meant for him and flirting with his wife. For Frank, the men of Charlemagne have become the ultimate houseguests from hell. 
  Mack offers Frank’s subordinate, Steve Donovan, a chance to join the team after the fallout of a recent disaster puts his young family at risk. As Frank watches Steve turn into a killer and his own wife and daughter discover what his thirty-year career has been all about, he helps the team save the lives of Steve’s family while dreading the danger to his own. 
  Brevet Wedge is the third book in K.A. Bachus’s unflinching Charlemagne Files series. Can Frank trust anyone in his immediate circle?
