Paris Reckoning (Sandi Brennan #1)

She survived Africa. Paris may finish the job.

After twenty years in the U.S. Army and a final CIA assignment in the lawless Sahel, Colonel Sandrine Brennan walks away from the career that defined her. She turns down a promotion to full colonel to build something of her own: an elite security firm in Paris, with the resources and reach to take on the world’s most dangerous threats.
For the first time in years, Sandi believes she may have left war behind.

Then the man she thought she knew disappears.

Steve was charming, private, and clearly connected to a world he refused to explain. When he vanishes without warning, he leaves behind only a cryptic photograph, unexplained money, and a trail of questions. Sandi’s search takes her from Paris’s diplomatic salons to the hidden passages beneath the city—and into a covert network of intelligence operatives, secret alliances, and buried betrayals.

The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that the criminal pipeline she uncovered in Africa was only one piece of a much larger operation. Powerful people on two continents have built fortunes protecting it, and they are not about to let Sandrine Brennan expose them.

Now she isn’t just searching for answers.
She’s the target.

To survive, Sandi will have to use every skill she learned in uniform—and become the leader she was always meant to be.

Paris Reckoning is the first novel in the Sandi Brennan series, set in the world of John Pearce’s acclaimed Eddie Grant Saga. New readers can start here, while longtime fans will discover a new heroine ready to take her place on the front lines.
