About Edged Weapon: The Gabriel Wolfe Thrillers, Book 16 (Unabridged)

You can try to leave your old life. But what if it won’t leave you ? Gabriel Wolfe is done with ops. Too much blood. Too many friends dead. His days, and nights, haunted by the memory of his murdered wife, Eli. Trying to heal, he spends his time at a gym in an unfashionable part of Paris, teaching martial arts to poor kids. But whether he likes it or not, the call of duty instilled in him as a child and reinforced by his military commanders has only been quieted, not deleted. So when he hears a woman cry out that her sister’s been stabbed, he rushes to help. But his instincts, always so trustworthy, betray him. Now it’s his life in danger. A razor-sharp knife to his throat and seconds left to submit to robbery or have his blood spilled. ‘Odette is missing!’ Elsewhere in the ‘city of love’, a twelve-year-old girl has disappeared on her way home from school. Her parents are frantic with worry, but the local police don’t want to know. After his encounter with the wannabe muggers, Gabriel runs into the missing girl’s mother. And he promises to help her find her daughter. What they don’t know is that Odette Diallo has been taken by people traffickers. They plan to auction her on the dark web: her body the prize for the highest bidder. The knife points the way Gabriel reunites the knife the muggers used with its rightful owner. And in return he offers to help Gabriel find Odette. Together with Gabriel’s sister, Tara, they begin a race against the clock to find Odette before the auction ends and her fate is sealed.
