Infiltrating a nuclear blast-proof underground city in Russia’s Ural Mountains…keeping the life-renewing bones of the prophet Elisha away from an Islamic dictator…All in a day’s work for the beautiful, brilliant Dr. Lynn Harry, Ph.D. in history and marine archaeology. But Lynn’s dream job is wiping out The Moriarties, western society’s elder statesman of criminal organizations, who murdered her father, NYPD Inspector Dashiell Harry. And the worst thing the Moriarties could do is underestimate her.
Lynn works for the enigmatic Mark Thyme, scholar, international troubleshooter, and a man who seems to know at least a little something about everyone and everything. In exchange for her services, Thyme is providing Lynn with the resources she needs to disassemble The Moriarties.
Along with these asserts Lynn in an expert rough-and-tumble fighter and marksman, despite a prosthetic left eye. Something even Thyme doesn't know, however, is that her prosthesis is really a strange emerald discovered on the sunken frigate H.M.S. Dunom off the coast of Lynn’s native St. David’s Island; a gem that augments Lynn’s physical abilities and allows her to see stereoscopically while disguising itself as a real eye.
Nothing ever goes the way you expect, though, including vengeance quests. As Lynn’s continues it not only becomes apparent that The Moriarties murdered Inspector Harry for somehow betraying them, but that the Harrys have belonged to The Moriarties for generations. Bad, but it gets worse when Lynn learns that The Moriarties have a blood claim on her body and soul.
Buckle your seats! It’s pedal-to-the-metal action and intrigue with CORSAIR.
