Chameleon

They are chameleons. Beyond the law, beyond morality, they've survived by adapting, whatever the circumstances. And by trusting nobody but themselves.

IT'S A QUESTION OF IDENTITY.

Stephanie Patrick, a woman who was more comfortable under an alias than she was with hersef, she traversed the world and forgot who she was. Now, she wants to put all her pasts behind her.

Konstantin Komarov. The FBI call him the Don from the Don. Today, at the heart of a financial empire created by the Russian crime pandemic, he's as comfortable in Manhattan as he is in Moscow or Magadan.

Between them exists Koba, an old alias for a new threat.

In a world where trust is weakness, honesty is naivety, brutality is routine, could falling in love be the greatest risk?


Book 3

Gemini

by Mark Burnell

Published 7 July 2003

The compelling sequel to Chameleon.

The third novel featuring the spicy, redoubtable but tender Stephanie Patrick finds her still paying back her obligations to Magenta House, and living an apparently normal civilian life in London. But then a remarkable new issue envelops her, forcing her back into her former life. Scientific and weapons secrets and personnel are being sent via the people-smuggling routes from China, through Albania and the former Yugoslavia to Europe and Britain. Stephanie’s personal feelings for one of the victims of this trade causes her to make a rare professional mistake, and the consequences are far-reaching, vicious and challenging, even for her skills and expertise.

Mark Burnell has written another gripping, intelligent thriller, which will appeal to fans of Robert Harris and Michael Connelly. Gemini is a welcome return for a unique heroine, and a compelling sequel to Chameleon.
