In the glittering underbelly of Las Vegas, secrets are the highest stakes. Albert has been playing a dangerous game, navigating the perilous corridors of organized crime under the watchful eye of his boss and uncle, Barry. An errant ring, rumored to unlock every clandestine operation, has gone missing—and Jack had it. As the tension tightens around the city’s illegal empires, Albert is thrust from behind the scenes into the chaos of fieldwork. Tony, a towering enforcer, stands at his side, but it’s Albert’s intellect that must outmaneuver rival syndicates and government task forces. In the labyrinth where shadows conquer light, each move could mean triumph or a fatal endgame. When a trail leads to a dim Romanian's den, Simion—an untrustworthy but valuable informant—holds the nectar the hunters need: a lead on Jack. But allegiances twist like the smoke-filled air as new players blend into the fray, each wielding their own brand of deceit. Will Albert uncover the ring's hidden truths before time runs out, or will this relentless pursuit be his last?Ver livro

When a man in eighteenth-century Highland dress is found dead on the site of the Battle of Culloden, where Bonnie Prince Charlie led his forces to a rout seared into Scottish memory, Rebecca Connolly takes up the case for the Chronicle. A controversial film about the rebellion and battle is being shot nearby, and it has drawn the ire of the right-wing nationalist movement Spirit of the Gael. Is there some link between the murder—the weapon used to impale the man leaves no doubt it was murder—and Spirit of the Gael or the shadowy militant group New Dawn, thought to be associated with them? Meanwhile, in the working-class part of town, Rebecca's assignment to cover a protest against the placement of a convicted child molester into the community leads her to Mo Burke, the unlikely protest leader. Mo is a formidable woman, but she is also the matriarch of a known crime family and usually prefers to shun the spotlight. What has drawn her out? And what of her two grown sons, who share in the family business? The older one, Nolan, with Ben Affleck good looks, is clearly intrigued by Rebecca, as she is by him, despite her better instincts to steer clear of their dangerous, violent world. And then another body is found, this one wearing the Redcoat uniform of the victorious British army.Ver livro
