Thief’s Honor by Ernest Dempsey (The Relic Runner #6)
English | 2023 | Mystery & Thriller | 377 KB
THERE’S A TIME TO RUN, AND A TIME TO FIGHT.
On the run after his brothers-in-arms betrayed him in the Middle East, the former Delta Force commando has hidden in plain sight in, of all places, the art world. Turns out Dak’s particularly lethal set of skills translates well to hunting down stolen relics across the globe. The money he earns from his eccentric young benefactor means he can afford to lay low and keep moving.
Good thing, too, because his former commanding officer, Col. Cameron Tucker, still wants him dead. And has doubled his efforts to track Dak down.
In a last, desperate attempt to lure Dak from the shadows, Tucker somehow uncovers the only thing on earth Dak cares about, the one thing he’s worked so hard to hide, the one person whose memory has kept him alive so far—his ex, Nicole.
When Tucker and his mercs kidnap Nicole, Dak fears the worst. But Tucker is willing to make a trade: Nicole’s life in exchange for a priceless Renaissance painting from one of the world’s great masters.
Problem is that painting was stolen thirty years ago. And no one knows who took it or where they’ve stashed it. It could be anywhere in the world.
That’s bad news for Dak, who has only five days to track down the masterpiece, steal it back, and make the trade with Tucker—or Tucker swears he’ll kill her.
Dak knows he’s crazy to take these odds and that the old colonel has surely laid new hidden traps for him. He can almost feel himself in the crosshairs. But he’s got no choice. He knows he has to give his all, maybe even his life, to save the one person in this world he loves.
