A Mother's Vengeance
Book three of the Elena Volkov trilogy. Out 1 March 2027.
She walked away. They made her turn back.
Four years after Koslov's death, Elena is back behind the bar in Cornwall. She fixes loose hinges, pours pints and tells her son exactly what time she'll be home.
Then Samir opens his car door outside his daughter's house on his granddaughter's birthday, and the courtesy light sets off a bomb.
He survives, just. Within forty minutes of the blast, someone is inside his old freight yard, prising open a hiding place beneath the office floor.
It is already empty.
The trail doesn't lead to a rival settling an old score. It leads to a file with no label, kept for thirty years, that begins with Elena as a child.
Someone has been watching her since long before Koslov.
Elena knows how to end this. She has done it before. But the detective on the case will arrest her the moment she crosses a line. Samir's daughter wants the truth, not a body. And her son wants to know whether she's looking for evidence or an excuse.
This time, Elena isn't hunting a man. She's building a case no one can bury.
Even if it buries her too.
