A firebreak is a cleared strip of land intended to stop a spreading fire. Creating one means deciding what you are willing to sacrifice.
Élise Volkov follows shipping records towards the businesses behind an international drug trade. She wants evidence that will stand up to scrutiny. Someone else wants her to stop looking.
After her murder, her father Dimitri turns a lifetime of trusted contacts into a campaign of revenge. He feeds criminal rivals evidence of betrayal, hoping their reactions will expose her killers. But his lies collide with a leaked financial ledger, a missing sixty-million-dollar payment and an insider selling out his own organization.
A contract killer begins to question his assignments. A financial specialist finds the accusations do not match the accounts. A magistrate refuses the easy explanation. In Lagos, a fraud crew discovers that stealing the money was the least dangerous part.
As their choices draw them together, each sees a different version of the same war-and each has something to lose by admitting they may be wrong.
#FIREBREAK is an international ensemble crime thriller about loyalty, grief and the price of acting on incomplete truth. For readers who enjoy shifting allegiances, morally compromised characters and twists that change the meaning of what came before.
