Intense suspense - Max Aries is a TFLAC operator whose personal are professional lives has just joined. Emily Greene is an art restorer in Florence and was protege to Max's father. When Daniel Aries dies, Max discovers that his and Emily's art works are being blown up in religious building around the world by the Black Rose terrorist group Max has been hunting. The race is on to prevent further bombings and save Emily's life. A little gory at times with a high body count, but fast paced and well done story. Makes more sense if you've read the previous books in the series, but okay as a stand-alone. Minimal sex.
