Wicked Little Waltz

Most people spend New Year’s Eve counting down to fresh starts and champagne kisses. I’m spending mine in Vienna, hunting a war criminal at a palace ball.

Dmitri Karpin is a Russian power broker with diplomatic immunity, dirty hands, and a long trail of bodies no court has been able to touch. Killing him should be simple: blend in, make it elegant, disappear before the fireworks fade. Of course, nothing is ever that clean.

When Karpin bolts into Vienna’s glittering underworld, the job turns into a deadly chase through waltzes, nightclubs, and holiday chaos. Rival killers emerge. The clock starts running. And one infuriatingly charming Italian assassin makes it very clear I’m not working alone.

As midnight approaches and Vienna celebrates in denial and glitter, I have one job: end Karpin before someone else does—or before innocent blood tips the balance. New Year’s Eve is about endings. And I’m very good at those.

If you love dangerous women, elegant cities dressed in holiday lights, and fast-paced assassin thrillers where violence and glamour dance dangerously close, Wicked Little Waltz will pull you onto the floor—and never let go.
