An impossible mission. A former spy who lives for the impossible. Seven lives rest in her hands...but who will save her?
Kate Cavanaugh can't escape the CIA. Her former employer wants her to find unfindable hostages, held by ghostlike terrorists in the barren lands of the Sahel, with not a shred of actionable intelligence to assist and oversight from the very people she left the Agency to escape. Kate knows without a doubt that those former colleagues won't hesitate to sacrifice her and her loved ones for their own aims.
There's not enough money in the world to make this worth her while.
But husband Nick and business partner Jake are committed, and Kate reluctantly agrees to undertake the mission: liberate American and French hostages in Mali.
Under the guise of negotiations, the Sandstorm team makes contact with the terrorists and dangles a ransom that will never be paid. But as their con for the ages plays out in the terrorists' unholy emirate, a second deception unfolds behind the scenes. In this game of cat and mouse, Kate and Nick and their friends learn the hard way that they're the mice.
All they were supposed to do was find the hostages and step aside. But it's personal now, and Kate isn't leaving Mali until the job is done...even if the CIA's vicious politics mean the death of them all.
A Gathering Storm, book three in The Sandstorm Series, is a high-stakes gambit with real lives on the line, and a reminder to the Agency that Kate Cavanaugh doesn't need them...and maybe she never did.
