Death of a Diplomat

In the shadowy world of international diplomacy, death is rarely what it seems.

When Inter-Agency Liaison Investigator Derek Thomas arrives at the American Embassy in Brussels, he's told he's replacing a diplomat who committed suicide. But Thomas knows better—Lucius Briggs was murdered, and his death is just the first move in a deadly game.

As Thomas unravels a conspiracy targeting a landmark African oil agreement, he discovers an assassination method so elegant it borders on artistry. The perfect crime, untraceable and seemingly impossible.

His investigation leads him to Heidi McNamara, the captivating CEO of a global corporation with a lethal secret life. She's brilliant, beautiful, and running a criminal empire that spans continents. When Thomas gets too close to the truth, he becomes the next target.

With the summit approaching and more lives at stake, Thomas must navigate a deadly maze of deception where Embassy walls offer no protection, security systems become weapons, and the woman he's hunting may be more dangerous than the poison she wields.

In a world where diplomacy masks treachery and attraction conceals deadly intent, survival depends on seeing through the perfect façade—before it's too late.
