About this listen

Military intelligence colleagues summon attorney Craig Malcault to testify against his client, a sensual, provocative socialite with a suspect divorce case. But he decides to destroy her file and risk all he's got to guard her secret. Craig was chasing informants a decade ago when his client built an international conglomerate and founded Ara Pacis, the code-named territory in Latin America, with the two men in her life as protection against threatening extermination. The bloodcurdling discoveries Craig now makes about her case are a human rights attorney's stellar dream come true.

That dream quickly becomes a nightmare when Craig learns what life is like, imperiled on government watchlists with unauthorized identities. Craig's client grapples with illusory confessions from the men she propelled to success. She needs a payback mechanism to even the scores of their embattled lives. It is always an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth on the ground where spies and mercenaries make their fortunes, and Craig knows it all so well, unlike management in Washington, D.C.

Management brutally uses the client's lover, George, secretly a double agent, as its tool, its sole goal to destroy Ara Pacis for its military intelligence work.

A Legal Thriller That Keeps You Guessing

This weaves together espionage with courtroom thriller under high tension, and inner turmoil in a way that had me enthralled. It follows the life of a lawyer who gets pulled into a dangerous world of government surveillance, informants, and shifting allegiances. Worth mentioning was the psychological tension of trust and betrayal. The political and legal tension was so engaging that each twist and turn struck with more force. The well-developed characters and reasons why they did what they did kept me engaged throughout. If you enjoy legal thrillers with deep storytelling, this delivers.

Twists, Secrets, and High Stakes Drama!

I went into this audiobook expecting legal intrigue, but what I got was a heart pounding mix of espionage, deception, and moral dilemmas. The main character is thrown into a dangerous web of secrets, where loyalty is tested, and survival isn’t guaranteed. I found myself questioning every character’s motive, and just when I thought I had it figured out bam! Another twist. If you love a mix of law, espionage, and high stakes drama, this one deliver!

A LOVELY READ

I wish I'd read the first book, as I didn’t realize this was a series. Still, the author quickly draws readers into the dangerous and mysterious labyrinth. The story’s strength lies in its honest portrayal of the darkest aspects of human nature, exploring character motivations and fears with raw, compassionate writing. Though dense at times, this book is a thought-provoking journey for readers willing to confront complex themes and dive into the intricacies of the human psyche.

A Thrilling Continuation of the Journey

This book is an exciting follow-up in The War of The Cave Sun series, packed with mystery, action, and emotional depth. It takes the story to new heights as characters face even more challenges in the labyrinth of their struggles. The complex world-building and well-developed characters kept me fully immersed. It’s clear that each decision the characters make holds major consequences, and that sense of tension and urgency really kept me hooked.

One section that stood out was when the characters were forced to navigate both physical and emotional mazes. I could relate to the way they had to overcome their own fears and doubts, which made me think about my own personal struggles. The book reminded me that even in the most challenging situations, there’s always a way through, as long as we face our inner battles head-on.

The narration was rich and intense, with the author’s voice adding an extra layer of authenticity to the story.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Twists, Secrets, and Global Intrigue

This was a wild ride—much more layered than I expected. The mix of legal drama, espionage, and moral ambiguity kept me fully engaged, especially as Craig’s loyalties started to unravel. I was genuinely surprised by how deep the political and psychological threads ran, especially around identity and betrayal. It felt like peeling back layers of power plays in a world where no one is ever just one thing.
