John T. Barrett introduced his beloved Barrett family in the action thrillers The Chapel, Space Bound, and Stargazers. The close-knit family has proved time and time again that with perseverance, anything is possible. In his fourth suspenseful installment, Barrett unveils a sinister plot that could lead to catastrophe on earth. It is up to Emily Barrett Ketchum to track down a deadly terrorist cabal.
The first attack occurs on Bastille Day in Paris, France. Over a thousand people are killed, and another two thousand are seriously wounded. The perpetrators use their cover identities as wine merchants to escape authorities.
The Barrett family's wine business perhaps isn't as exciting as their space adventures, but Emily Barrett Ketchum loves the operation. When she meets some of the fake wine merchants in Verona, Italy, Emily will have to keep her wits about her. They won't hesitate to kill anyone who discovers their secret.
As Emily plays a game of cat-and-mouse with the terrorists, her nephew, Bryce Simms, struggles with a personal loss and his position in the family business. Global espionage, interstellar business, and intimate family drama collide in this suspenseful thriller.
