Double Pursuit - Alison Morton

. .

Résumé :
She's hunting arms smugglers. But who is hunting her? One dead body, two badly injured operatives and five crates of hijacked rifles. In Rome, former French special forces intelligence analyst M?lisende des Pittones is frustrated by obnoxious local cops and ruthless thugs. Despite the backing of the powerful European Investigation and Regulation Service, her case is going nowhere. Then an unknown woman tries to blow her head off.

Can Mel conquer her fear as she races to smash the network and save her colleague's life?...
