Crown Fire

by David Annandale

tagged: thrillers
Description

When Canadian Forces soldier Jan Blaylock's father- an investigative journalist- and the rest of her family are murdered in an attempt to cover up illegal arms sales, Blaylock abandons military life to plan her revenge against Integrated Security, the multi-national conglomerate she deems responsible. Blaylock's vengeful mission takes on global proportions when she and disenfranchised InSec employee Mike Flanagan uncover a plot that could trigger world-wide chaos. As the tension and the body-count rise, Crown Fire moves from New York City to Paris to Brussels to Moscow before Blaylock launches a final incendiary attack in the Canadian Shield.
