Mozart's Ghost

David Payne is a CIA agent at a crossroads in his career. Still grieving from the death of his girlfriend, Sandy Kramer, another agent who was killed on the job, he meets a mysterious woman who becomes the love of his life. Using the moniker of Mozart's Ghost, off-the -books CIA operative Ilsa Bekker is beautiful, urbane, and philanthropic while at the same time being ruthless and lethal. Overcoming a tortured past, she has become one of the CIA's most trusted fixers. David's encounter with her in Vienna, Austria leads to a decade's long quest for vengeance, power, and ultimately love.

Like a fly caught in a spider's web, David is trapped by Ilse's beauty and charm, which pulls him into a vortex of danger and intrigue. Supported by his lifelong friend and fellow agent Audrey Kotite and erstwhile junior agent Bryce Nelson, David becomes the keeper of Ilse's legacy and ultimately her iconic status as Mozart's Ghost.
