Crossed Lines Part Six: Smoke and Mirrors

By Jo Calman

Crossed Lines: A high-speed, complex, geographically wide-ranging, quite technical, sometimes brutal, sometimes sexy, sometimes funny, often violent, corruption driven, crime soaked, duplicitous, deceptive, confusing, thrilling, passionately human and rather strange love story.

The journey conludes.

In Part Six: Smoke and Mirrors, Julia Kelso is now with Europol in The Hague, running international joint investigations. Inexplicably, operations are starting to go badly wrong. People are dying and Kelso needs to find out why.

But Ferdinand is missing; he didn't come back from Africa and no one knows if he is alive or dead. Mel Dunn is now a mother and too busy with baby-sick and nursery rhymes to be of much help. Desperate for an insight, Kelso embarks on a solo quest to find and infiltrate the criminal organisation behind the joint investigation failures.

Her high-risk strategy involves deceit and subterfuge, smoke and mirrors, and very high personal stakes.

How will it all end?
