He came to Naples seeking peace. He found war.

Six months without blood on his hands. For the first time in years, John Blackwood almost believed he could escape what he'd become -- Europe's most wanted ghost, a walking embodiment of Death. But peace is a luxury killers can't afford.

When the mafia sets its sights on the British couple whose villa Blackwood is restoring, his carefully constructed anonymity shatters, and Blackwood finds himself trapped in a three-way war between the Camorra, British intelligence, and his own lethal conscience. When the gangsters kidnap eight-year-old Giuseppe during Naples' most sacred religious procession, the choice becomes simple: run and live as a coward. Or stay and be the monster he's always been.

From the blood-soaked ruins of Pompeii to the underground catacombs beneath Naples, Blackwood wages a war of destruction against the Gallo crime family.

The explosive fifth novel in the John Blackwood series -- where ancient history collides with modern vengeance, and one man's quest for peace becomes a reckoning written in blood.
