Lioness

by Matt Stanton

What if the only way to save your daughter was to betray her?

Rachel Mara has never had a gun pointed at her before.

What began as an Italian holiday with her daughter, Zoe, has turned into a hostage crisis with terrifying implications.

Among the hostages is an enigmatic American named John Clay. He says he can get Rachel and Zoe out, but the three of them will have to break away from the others. She will have to trust him.

Across the Atlantic, a U.S. Intelligence Agency has gone into meltdown. They are watching the footage of the gallery and they've identified Clay. There's only one problem: John Clay is meant to be dead.

You must read Lioness, the unrelenting page-turner everyone is talking about.
