“THE ULTIMATE REVENGE IS A DISH BEST SERVED ICE COLD”
Detective Erika Kelemen has already been thrown out of the Budapest Murder Squad once. But in the middle of the global pandemic, her forensic attention to detail is back in demand. When the body count of tortured octogenarians rises, Erika discovers links to the Cold War era, and deadly grudges that have their origins in Hungary’s dark, post WW2 history.
With Erika’s personal life falling apart around her, she soon finds she is in a race -not only to stop the assassin -but also to reveal the secrets of a conspiracy that appears to be guiding the killer. The more she digs to uncover the truth, the more she puts herself in jeopardy. Will she find the murderer before he strikes again, and if she does, will she be able to bring him to justice?
