Ilse's Requiem: A Mozart's Ghost Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798254831037)

Two and a half years after Bryce Nelson's execution in Jerusalem, the people who loved him are still living with the fallout. Audrey Kotite has left the CIA, but the ghosts of Langley follow her home. David Payne is continuing to build a life with Katya Varanova, unaware that Ilse Bekker - Mozart's Ghost herself - left behind a ledger filled with secrets powerful enough to shatter nations.

And then Ana is taken.

Ana Serdjan-Vardonic, the gentle daughter Ilse never got to raise, the young woman Ilse once called the White Swan. The one who rebuilt her life after kidnapping, torture, and loss. The one who carries Ilse's inheritance - and Ilse's enemies.

When Ana disappears, the fragile peace binding their stitched-together family collapses. Old alliances fracture. Old wounds reopen. And the shadows Ilse once commanded begin to move again.

As David, Katya, and Audrey are pulled back into a world of covert wars and buried sins, they discover that Ilse's past is not finished with them. The ledger she left behind - a record of the people she killed, the betrayals she survived, and the empire she built - becomes the key to unraveling a conspiracy that reaches from Vienna to Dubrovnik to the darkest corners of Ilse's former life.

Because Ilse Bekker may be dead... but her enemies are not. And neither are her ghosts.

Taut, emotional, and relentlessly suspenseful, Ilse's Requiem is a story of inheritance - of the blood we carry, the choices we inherit, and the people we become when the past refuses to stay buried. Perfect for readers of Daniel Silva, Gregg Hurwitz, and Jason Matthews, this novel expands the world of Mozart's Ghost with deeper stakes, sharper danger, and a haunting question:

How do you escape a legacy built on secrets?
