MORE NOIR THRILLER. MORE ACTION IN THE SEEDY UNDERBELLY OF TRIESTE. The sequel to Blood Rain in Trieste continues the rollercoaster relationship between secret service agent-turned-musician Milo Marchetti and his femme fatale, Adara Nasim, a mob boss’s daughter, in the dark underworld of Trieste. Adara is the seductive doppelganger for his dead wife, whom Milo had fallen deeply in love with after years of avoiding intimacy. Milo had forgiven Adara’s duplicity that almost got him killed, but he angrily cut her out of his life when he feared her intense relationship with her now-deceased brother had been far too close. As much as he loved the Nasim family, he had been unable to live close to Adara, whom he still confusingly loves and rejects in equal measures. Adara has no doubts about Milo and is determined to get him to return to the Nasim family, marry her, and save the family from its enemies. Milo is determined not to return to a highly emotionally charged situation and with a big problem looming. Milo has left the protection of the Nasim family and fears the wrath of three mob bosses if they discover his roles in the deaths of their sons while protecting Adara. Time to get the hell out of Trieste!
