Kingston Noir (Noir)

Synopsis

Different motives. One target. Danger stalks a young girl in this international thriller from the Hercule Poirot Award–winning author of Absinthe. It begins with a robbery from the cargo hold of a plane in Belgium; fifty million dollars worth of diamonds are taken. But a Russian mercenary named Alexei leaves with the real prize: a data card containing secret and sensitive information from the Israeli government. When Alexei is killed by an Arab operative while trying to negotiate for more money, the data card survives inside a locket he gave to his lover&’s daughter, Lucy. In a panic, mother and daughter flee to Jamaica, where Lucy&’s father lives. Yet the Caribbean island is no safe haven. A serial killer is using Kingston&’s streets as a hunting ground, targeting young schoolgirls—ones who look a lot like Lucy. And as Arab and Mossad agents converge on the town, Lucy disappears. On the hunt for a psychopath, one police commissioner must keep her wits about her to save Lucy from the monsters that pursue her . . .Praise for Absinthe &“Tense, up-to-date Euro-political intrigue, topped off with that rarest of gems: a satisfying finale.&” —Jim Houghton, Emmy Award–winning writer &“Eekhaut populates his book with characters and situations which will stay with you long after you&’ve finished.&” —Alan Gold, author of The Jericho Files &“Eekhaut presents us with lifelike characters, not heroes in the hard-boiled tradition, but human detectives plagued by doubt.&” —Knack
