Hope Vendetta

Brief Description: Includes an excerot from The Mozart conspiracy. Publisher Marketing: WHAT DOES ZOE BRADBURY KNOW? "At first, only the parents of the lovely archaeologist are concerned. They just want to get in touch with the unpredictable party girl. In fact, Zoe has been kidnapped by a trained team and is being brutally interrogated. The problem: Zoe doesn't have the answer." When ex-SAS operative Ben Hope is asked by old friends to find their missing daughter, he tries to stay minimally involved. But when the search erupts into violence, Ben realizes that once again it's all up to him.

Gradually, Ben realizes that it's not just Zoe's life on the line, but the lives of millions. However, the shadowy group who are hell-bent on making an end-of-days attack for political gain have made one huge mistake. Because in Ben Hope "they "are facing the ultimate reckoning. . . .
