It was supposed to be a simple and quick assignment for Marina Di Pietro and Nick Donahue. Help Marina’s client, Adnan bin Haddad, guard his fabulous racehorse, Devil Wind, from human predators who are threatening the stallion with death if millions aren’t paid in ‘protection money.’ Just guard the horse and catch the attackers before they strike. If you’re lucky.
Turns out, the threat against the horse is just the opening gambit in a deadly game with ISIS. With events spiraling out of control, Nick and Marina must stop the terrorists from getting the real prize they’re after: a weapon of mass destruction that could tear the world apart.
Now, Nick has to use all the cunning, skill, and subterfuge he’s acquired as a gambler to discover the ‘tell’ that will help him turn the predators into prey.
And there’s no time to lose.
