Taut, twisty, and thoroughly absorbing.
Potter’s gripping thriller brings a professional knife-thrower into a complex story of family secrets, political ambition, and corruption. Genevieve “Blade” Broussard arrives in Charleston searching for the truth about her newly discovered, powerful paternal family, which wants her dead. Her investigation into the Andrews political dynasty soon extends beyond an old family mystery, leading to Nigeria, a supposedly abandoned oil facility, and a network of questionable financial dealings. Meanwhile, Chase Maserati and his Soldati di Cristo encounter another part of the same conspiracy while working in Nigeria.
Potter skillfully brings together political intrigue, international crime, family mystery, and romance. Blade is a compelling protagonist, capable and determined but increasingly affected by what she discovers about the father she never knew. Her personal search gives the larger conspiracy an emotional center, while Chase and the morally ambiguous Alec provide distinct perspectives on the unfolding investigation. The Nigerian setting expands the novel’s scope, connecting political power with corporate interests and the human consequences of both. Potter handles the intersecting storylines with assurance, balancing investigative detail, action, romance, and Blade’s search for answers.
Perfect for lovers of fast-paced political thrillers and family intrigue.
