Tessa has finally reconciled with her life as Variation. She and her longtime love Alec have officially become a couple, and for the first time she has everything she wants. But the atmosphere at FEA headquarters is tense. The agent has disappeared, and the perpetrator is most likely the rogue organisation Abel Army. When Tessa is called on her second mission, she is suddenly embroiled in a massive conspiracy. Her best friend Holly is kidnapped, and Tessa knows it was meant for her. But who's after her? And more importantly, why? When FEA's efforts to save Holly fail, Tessa takes matters into her own hands. Desperate to save her friend and uncover the secret of the Abel Army, Tessa begins her own investigation, but nothing can prepare her for what she learns. Having gathered all her courage and strength, Tessa must decide who can be trusted and what is worth fighting for. Translated by Cora Reilly . The Mafia Chronicles:
