Blood Rain in Trieste

A NOIR THRILLER. A DOOMED ROMANCE. Blood Rain in Trieste combines genres into a page-turning, action-packed drama, so fasten your seat belt and be carried along by the volatile relationship of two emotionally damaged souls that isn't a stairway to heaven but a scary rollercoaster. Let the story sweep you along from the assassination of a Taliban leader in Afghanistan through the simmering ethnic violence of the Balkans to the seedy underbelly of Trieste, the least-Italian city, tucked away where the Pope cannot find it on a map. A mysterious, seductive woman who disturbingly resembles Milo's dead wife, sashays her curves into his music club, flashes her sparkling, emerald eyes, licks her pillows of red lips, and offers him a lot of cash to make her blackmailer "disappear." He's intrigued but who is she? Why him? Does she know about his violent past? Milo, a former Canadian Intelligence agent, is hooked, and she reels him into Trieste's criminal underworld where he soon discovers she's big trouble: the catalyst for his confrontations with her insanely protective brother, other mob families, religious zealots, and the police. When he discovers her duplicity and his life is under threat from all sides, is the woman he's fallen in love with worth the trouble?
