Vendetta

By: Bruce Bronstein

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The theft of three valuable paintings from a Paris art museum has triggered tragic consequences for the thief and the real owner of the paintings who is brutally murdered. Fearing that she will be killed by a ruthless banker’s mercenaries, the thief turns to her cousin and her husband, who is a retired internationally renowned assassin for help. In order to recover the artwork, the thief and those helping her concoct an elaborate hoax posing as an alluringly seductive Russian drug dealer who is about to start a drug pipeline in France but needs a supplier. Obsessed with the phony Russian drug dealer, the banker is conned into assisting her. After the banker’s mercenaries are killed and the banker’s residence, warehouse and opium shipment are blown up, the banker hires a notorious Yakuza assassin to murder those he believes are responsible, such as a vengeful Taliban warlord who is operating a drug cartel in Afghanistan and his radicalized jihadist followers. Once the Yakuza assassin has fulfilled his contractual obligation to the banker, he pursues the retired assassin in order to settle a score going back ten years ago in Japan by following him to Hawaii. In a riveting story that builds to a final confrontation between good and evil, the author will keep the reader guessing the outcome until the very end.
