The Antwerp Vendetta

By James Baudhuin and Judy Benkowski

A relaxing European vacation turns into a fight for survival in this high-stakes international thriller.

Kathy and Scott embark on a trip to Europe to reconnect with old friends. But their peaceful getaway is shattered before it even begins. A vengeful Spanish cartel leader from their past discovers their travel plans and forms an unholy alliance with a powerful Sicilian mafia family. His objective is simple: eliminate the Americans during their stop in Sicily.

The danger intensifies when the second leg of their trip brings them to Antwerp. What begins as a short visit to look into a question with a diamond purchase quickly spirals out of control. Kathy and Scott meet a reporter investigating a criminal element within the diamond industry. They find themselves unexpectedly entangled in a massive scheme tied to international money laundering.

Involvement with a local criminal organization desperate to protect its illicit diamond operation threatens their survival. As Kathy and Scott race to uncover the truth, the Spanish cartel discovers their location and sends assassins to Antwerp. Caught between a ruthless diamond syndicate and a vengeful cartel boss, the couple must use all their wits to survive a deadly game of cat and mouse.
