Emergence (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732211209)

In the second installment of the Erika Johnson series, Erika resumes her game of cat and mouse with the Russian gangsters who murdered her mentor and friend. She utilizes her incredible facility with weapons in an unconventional war of wills to end their business of importing human slavery to America. To accomplish her goal, she must first remove their influence on a corrupt United States Senator and the wealthy banker that funds her international agency.

During a separate operation to end the cross-border kidnap of American citizens for profit, she meets a former Navy Seal, a dangerous figure who rules the Barrio Logan with an iron fist. An unusual love affair blossoms between the pair as Erika attempts to navigate the perilous traps set by the influential people she is supposed to trust. The entanglement couldn't come at a worse time, as she tries to separate her desire for a genuine personal relationship from the treacherous assignment that threatens the lives of those she holds dear.

When traditional methods fail to curtail the Russian atrocities, Erika steps outside the normal channels of her agency and employs her own brand of guerrilla tactics to combat this deadly menace...
