Award-winning author and photographer Gary Smith continues his mystery adventure series with the character Warren Steelgrave. True to the title of his first novel, The Willing, Warren Steelgrave gets involved in investigating a bomb threat by a radicalized Middle Eastern hate group. The terrorists' plan is complex and ever-evolving. Their target may differ from the information first uncovered since their hatred is not limited to only one religion.
Central to the story is Warren Steelgrave's unique ability to utilize the help of three very distinct entities: the national police of Italy, a powerful Mafia crime family, and a supportive American FBI agent. The cooperation between them and Steelgrave must remain clandestine to prevent public scrutiny.
Steelgrave's ability to anticipate the terrorists' elusive actions proves his worth. Unfortunately, Warren Steelgrave drops his guard, and an unexpected act of retribution results in near-fatal knife wounds.
