Lingua: A New York Story
By B.P. Stone
After a near-fatal shooting in Midtown Manhattan, NYPD veteran Billy Clarke awakens with an inexplicable gift: the ability to speak and understand any language he hears. As New York City simmers with tension, the scars of 9/11 still fresh, Billy's newfound talent thrusts him and his loyal partner, Rosie Ramirez, into a chilling international conspiracy.
A series of mysterious events points to a devastating terror plot targeting the United Nations Russian Mission. Billy, Rosie, and a clandestine team of intelligence operatives must race against time to unravel a web of deception that stretches from the immigrant communities of Queens to the corridors of global power. With the city's fate hanging in the balance, Billy's gift becomes both a blessing and a curse, forcing him to confront his past, the limits of loyalty, and the true meaning of forgiveness.
Blending the gritty realism of New York policing with the pulse-pounding intrigue of a modern thriller, Lingua is a sweeping tale of resilience, multiculturalism, and the extraordinary power of language to bridge, or destroy, worlds. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, John le Carré, and Don Winslow, this is a story where every word could save a life... or end one.
