Requiem for Betrayal

Ephraim

An American pop star, a Honduran heiress, a vengeful father, a jealous former classmate, and international terrorists converge in Paris. What could go wrong?

Recording artist and CIA contractor Brad James is working on his upcoming record release in Paris when he receives news that a friend and fellow operative, Boomer, has been found dead and battered on the banks of the Seine. Tasked with continuing Boomer’s risky investigation into a suspected terrorist alliance, Brad must use his diverse range of connections from both the CIA and the music industry to find answers. Slowly, the terrorist plot begins to surface. And it could cost millions of lives.

Brad’s search leads him to an alluring Honduran heiress, whose close link to the target of the operation puts her in grave danger. And Brad soon finds that he would do anything to protect her. Together, they must work to dismantle a global conspiracy and defend the city from looming catastrophe.

Full of danger and sharp wit, Requiem for Betrayal patiently unravels a thrilling tale of espionage, secrets, lust, betrayal, and—most of all—revenge.
