Immune: A Ham Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246292884)

"So you want me to fly to Colombia and commit what basically amounts to a political assassination on foreign soil?"

Not making the mistake of firing back too quickly, responding with something heated or that he might not be able to take back, he waits. A pause of several seconds, ending with him sighing deeply.

"We're not asking you to incite an international incident. We just want justice."

Six nights ago, disaster struck as the Cattaneo crime family gathered at its headquarters in the suburbs of Boston to enjoy the Feast of San Gennaro. An annual rite that was supposed to be a moment of reflection and celebration on the heels of an especially difficult summer, seeing massive upheaval in their ranks.

Turmoil that turned out to be just the beginning, as they were targeted by a hitman just moments after sitting down to eat. A sudden and vicious attack that claimed the lives of not just half a dozen of their own, but the life of a responding officer as well.

More tallies on a months-long spree, all attributable to the man hiding behind the protection of diplomatic immunity. The proverbial get-out-of-jail free card that many across the city could not abide, leading them to put in a call to Ham with the request that she do what they could not.

Fly to Colombia and end the man responsible for so much destruction and chaos.

What was supposed to be a relatively simple assignment turns into anything but as Ham arrives, discovering that the man's role was just one tiny aspect of a much larger scheme. A plan years in the making, sending her scrambling across multiple countries and continents in a mad dash to unravel it.

Then prove to those responsible that true immunity has its limits.
