Marble and Mist. The Alphabet Series, #7

Book W of The Alphabet Series - 26 Letters, 26 StoriesBerlin breathed a brittle silence. Not the quiet of peace, but the unnerving hush of disconnection. The fiber optic arteries of a nation had been severed, leaving a country adrift in a sea of static. In the heart of the city, marble monuments stood shrouded in a perpetual mist, their stoic facades mirroring the secrets held within. Warren Drayton hadn't asked to be a hero.
He'd been a tool, honed by years of clandestine operations, discarded when his usefulness had run out. But when a digital blackout plunged Germany into chaos, and a friend lay dead, he couldn't walk away. Not this time. The silence wasn't the problem. It was what it concealed. A conspiracy that reached the highest levels of power, a network of deceit that threatened to unravel the fragile peace between nations.
Operating under a false name, haunted by his past, Warren navigated the shadowed streets of Berlin, knowing that every step could be his last. He was a ghost, a weapon, a liability. And he was about to discover that sometimes, the greatest battles aren't fought with guns and bombs, but with secrets and lies.
