Could you betray the ones you love for the greater good?CIA agent Chris Collins thought the conspiracy that destroyed his career was finally over. After exposing corruption at the highest levels of power, he and Tsu, a foreign intelligence operative, vanished into the shadows, hoping the worst was behind them. They were wrong. A failed assassination attempt proves their enemies are still hunting them, and the network they tried to dismantle is far from finished. Forced to split up, Chris and Tsu operate across continents, each pushing deeper into hostile territory to uncover the truth. For someone like Chris, the job has always come first. Trust is dangerous, attachment is a liability, and romance is never simple when deception is part of survival. With a missing teenager, a single piece of digital evidence, and multiple forces closing in, every decision carries a cost. The closer they get to the truth, the more they risk losing each other. Shanghai Crossfire is a fast, high-octane CIA action thriller packed with globe-trotting danger, covert operations, and constant escalation. Perfect for readers who love on-the-run heroes, corrupt power plays, and thrillers that don't slow down. This edition also includes a free bonus novella. Desert Heat - a fast-paced CIA thriller introducing Tsu Kim, a standout character from the Chris Collins universe, in her first solo mission. ___________________________________________________________________Praise for the Chris Collins CIA Thriller Series: James Bond and Jason Bourne may as well retire. Edge-of-your-seat adventure. Conspiracies, corrupt politicians, and serious global threats. A relentless pace of globe-trotting adventure. A sinister plot connected to a secret society.
