Sometimes the friends of your friend are your enemies. Sometimes your friend isn't who you thought they were.
Atmospheric and character-driven, Nina's Friends is a fast-moving international murder mystery for fans of Daniel Silva, Tana French, and John Sandford. It plunges readers into a labyrinth of international intrigue when brutal violence in Philadelphia's Society Hill sets into motion a complex game of lies and misdirection.
The tale begins with the brutal murder of a married couple (who happen to be Russian undercover agents) in their Philly townhome during the early months of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But was this part of a robbery gone wrong, or perhaps something deeper connected to the war? Michelle Rotuno-Johnson, Patch
Dragan Markov, a disgraced Russian agent, wants to know who killed his ex-lover and her husband, and why. Pursuing a thin lead, he travels to Copenhagen, and is thrust into a world of art fraud, money laundering, outlaw bikers, and aspiring terrorists. Every revelation peels back another layer of deception, and every ally may be an enemy in disguise.
With the war in Ukraine casting a volatile shadow, Dragan must confront his own past and the ghosts of a passion that refuses to die. In a world where trust is a luxury and survival demands making hard choices, how far will he go to uncover the truth-and who will pay the ultimate price?
An intelligent and entertaining whodunit-murder mystery. Kobzar, LibraryThing
From a writer the Los Angeles Times called witty and ingenious. This is book one of the Tajna Circle Series.
A spy thriller with several twists that kept me coming back. I had trouble putting this book down. Well written with some great character descriptions. I really enjoyed this read from a new author. I can't wait for a sequel. Anthony Tracey, Goodreads
