From New York Times bestselling authors Nelson DeMille and Alex
DeMille, Blood Lines features the return of Special Agents Brodie and
Taylor who are on the hunt for the cold-blooded murderer of one of their
fellow agents.
Army Criminal Investigation Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor have
been separated for five months following their last assignment, a
dangerous mission in Venezuela to locate and detain an infamous Army
deserter. Now, in Berlin, they are reunited and tasked with
investigating the murder of one of their own: CID Special Agent Harry
Vance of the 5th MP Battalion, an accomplished counterterrorism agent
who had been stationed in western Germany, and whose body was discovered
in a city park in the heart of Berlin's Arab refugee community.
The authorities suspect this is an act of Islamic terrorism, but Brodie
and Taylor soon believe there is more to this case. The reason for
Vance's presence in Berlin is unknown, and as Brodie and Taylor work to
discover what the murder victim was doing in the days and weeks
preceding his death, they become immersed in the many conflicts and
contradictions of modern Germany--the Arab refugee crisis, the dark
legacy of the Cold War and the Stasi secret police, and the imminent
threats of a rising neo-Nazi movement. At the same time, they are
butting heads with the authorities--both German and American--and facing
a possible threat from American intelligence agents who fear that Brodie
and Taylor might have learned too much about US clandestine operations
during their mission in Venezuela.
Ultimately, Brodie and Taylor realize that the murder of Harry Vance was
merely the prelude to a much more sinister future event--unless they can
unravel the mystery in time to stop it.
