Background
FBI Special Agent Alexandra (Alex) Martel is on loan to Interpol and based in The Hague.
Alex isn’t your typical investigator—she is a decorated former military and covert operations sniper. Charming and disarming, relentless and lethal, Alex has skills that see her assigned to the highest-profile cases—the kind of cases where failure would have global consequences.
But success, too, often comes with a price.
Book 1: Render Safe — An Alex Martel Thriller
Alexandra Martel is an FBI special agent seconded to Interpol. She’s a former Army sniper who is unforgiving in her pursuit of justice. Some groups fear her, some want to recruit her, and some want her dead.
As Alex discovers a plot to disrupt Western alliances and throw the world into global conflict, she races to uncover the clandestine players and stop a nuclear attack. From the streets of London and Moscow to the underbelly of Paris, Alex reluctantly joins forces with a man with plans of his own for her, who will stop at nothing to achieve them.
With the clock ticking and the world edging closer to doom, Alex will fall back on her Spec Ops skills to stop the unthinkable. And although she thought she had left her life as a sniper behind, with stakes this high, she will use whatever means necessary to render the world safe.
