The Girl in the Background

A contract killing on a remote coastal track.

A deadly boat explosion occurs in nearby waters soon afterwards.

Meanwhile, Angelina makes an audacious escape with the assistance of her underworld connections and continues her ruthless agenda.

To follow is a chain of events that, when unravelled, shocks Nic Drakos to the core and links him inextricably to Elena Perez, imprisoned by Angelina on the other side of the world. But can he believe a word she says, or is this another one of Angelina's ploys to lure him out of hiding and into a trap?

As Nic uncovers the truth, it becomes a race against time to save Elena's life. But will he be too late?
