Blood Lines

Five months after a perilous mission in Venezuela, Army Criminal Investigation Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor find themselves reunited in Berlin, tasked with unraveling the murder of their colleague, CID Special Agent Harry Vance. Vance, a skilled counterterrorism agent, was discovered dead in a city park within Berlin’s Arab refugee community, leading authorities to suspect an act of Islamic terrorism. However, Brodie and Taylor quickly sense a deeper conspiracy. As they delve into Vance’s mysterious activities leading up to his death, they become entangled in the complex tapestry of modern Germany: the ongoing Arab refugee crisis, the lingering shadows of the Cold War and the Stasi, and the ominous rise of a neo-Nazi movement. Their investigation is further complicated by clashes with both German and American authorities, and the chilling possibility that American intelligence agents fear Brodie and Taylor have uncovered too much about clandestine US operations. Ultimately, the duo realizes Vance's murder is merely a prelude to a far greater, impending catastrophe, and they must race against time to expose the truth and prevent it.
