Cold Crossing

Fourteen months ago, a man died on a wet Brussels street, and Cass Rennick lost her job, her clearance and her country. Now the former CIA officer guards strangers for a small security firm on the Antwerp docks.

On Monday, a nervous new client opens a courier envelope at the conference table. Inside is a photograph of Cass, taken minutes before that night went wrong.

Someone wants her close to this man by Friday at ten. A lock-keeper is dead, a British colonel is asking questions, and the one police inspector who might help has been told to watch her.

And beneath the Scheldt lies a tunnel she has sworn never to take anyone through.
