You know me — I never sit still for long. After adventures the Outback, Hollywood, and sky-high chases, Elaine Brogan is about to face her next nightmare. And this one may be her most dangerous yet.

Here’s a taste of what’s coming in Mortal Silence:

A Swiss bank suddenly produces fifty million in crisp 1975 U.S. hundred-dollar bills — notes that should have been withdrawn and destroyed decades ago. They’re not counterfeit. They’re not new. They’re just… impossible. And Elaine is called to Zurich to explain how.

Meanwhile, a flamboyant Italian cook from Elaine’s household (yes, Tony) is dragged into a London courtroom battle against a ruthless Roman mafia boss.

And Giorgio Cattoretti… well, let’s just say ghosts from his past are about to claw their way back into the light.

Here’s Tony, in his usual fashion, summing things up:
“Mamma mia… I only cooked pasta for that monster!”

I won’t commit to release dates (I’ve learned that game only causes stress!), but I will promise this: Mortal Silence is shaping up to be one of the twistiest, most personal entries in the Lust, Money & Murder series. Elaine, Luna, Nick, Tony, Dmitry, and Giorgio are heading into territory you won’t expect.

Stay tuned.

P.S. If you see a falcon circling overhead… run.
