Crossfire in Tangier

Valerie Cross is a ghost in the Moroccan heat, a burned former CIA operative trying to disappear in the humid, chaotic labyrinth of Tangier. She survives on whiskey and instinct, constantly watching the shadows for the long list of enemies-from the Russians to her own former employer, Langley-who want her silenced. Her fragile anonymity shatters when a dying man stumbles onto her balcony on Rue Mokhtar, pressing a black USB drive into her hand and whispering the name "Hale" before the blood-soaked street goes silent.
The drive is the key to an encrypted file, revealing a new operation run by Arthur Hale-the mentor who betrayed her and left her for dead in Istanbul. Now, with a CIA wet team, local police, and Russian agents closing in, Valerie is thrust back into the spy game. With the drive as her only leverage, she must navigate the city's treacherous docks, souks, and shadows to expose Hale's conspiracy, leading her to a final, deadly reckoning in the ancient Kasbah.
In a city that eats the weak, Valerie Cross is a hunter with nothing left to lose. And the hunt is on.
