Knife-thrower Blade Broussard is hunting Alec Quinn, the man she blames for her mother\u2019s death. But when her friend Chase Maserati is captured in North Korea, she joins a secret rescue mission with the Soldati di Cristo, a clandestine Christian brotherhood. Disguised and watched at every turn, Blade must reach Chase before his execution. She is unaware that Alec is there too, and that others are hunting her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The novel tracks multiple threads: Blade\u2019s unraveling psyche, Chase\u2019s brutal imprisonment, and Alec\u2019s slow descent into paranoia as his criminal empire begins to erode. Potter doesn\u2019t waste time easing the reader in. One minute, Blade is wiping blood from her lips after a bar brawl. Next, she\u2019s dodging a black SUV on her Ducati. The pace is sharp, the stakes high, and the violence cuts deep without feeling gratuitous. But this is more than a thriller. Potter explores the murky space between justice and vengeance, duty and obsession. The result is a story that delivers both high-octane action and genuine pathos. Un-put-downable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Coming soon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nannettepotter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Author website<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tense, layered, and deeply felt.
