Kill Chain (Pascual) by Martell, remises Dominic NEUF

TWENTY YEARS OFF THE GRID AND HE THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE Pascual Rose is back-and this time the lives of his wife and son hang in the balance. Years ago, Rose put his life as a terrorist behind him. He sold out his colleagues for a new identity and low profile in Barcelona. All was quiet until he received a midnight text: Come join us on the terrace. The stakes are high: if he fails, it will cost him his family; if he succeeds, one million euros will buy a lot more than translation piecework will. But the money-laundering scheme involves a nexus of diverted revenues, shell companies and cryptocurrencies, peopled by shadowy benefactors, Russian mobsters, German intelligence agents, and a mysterious woman with a chilling warning: Get out before its too late. Rose races against time, navigating twists and turns and mortal danger knowing no one can be trusted and nothing is happenstance. Can he uncover who is behind the operation that has the potential to destroy entire governments and global financial markets before he loses everything?

Dominic Martell was born in the United States and has spent most of his life there, but he has lived and traveled extensively in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. He has worked as a teacher and a translator. Lying crying dying is the first of three novels originally published in the 1990s featuring repentant ex-terrorist Pascual March, chronicling remises his quest for atonement in the chaotic early years of the post-Cold War period. A quarter of a century later, in the transformed landscape of the even more chaotic post-9/11 digitally connected world, Martell began to wonder what had become of Pascual and brought him out of retirement in a new novel, Kill Chain (Dunn Books), the first of Pascuals twenty-first-century misadventures.
