Alan Refkin

ALAN REFKIN is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning author.

The Appointment, the seventh book in the Mauro Bruno Detective Series, was just published.
 
Italy’s most classified intelligence archive has been breached by a man the world believes is dead. A deadly, fast-mutating pathogen is already on its way to Moscow. And somewhere in Rome, a professional assassin is calibrating an eight-hundred-yard shot at Italy’s president—while the Kremlin watches and waits.

Pia Lamberti, Italy’s intelligence chief, has spent her career in the shadows so ordinary people never have to know how close to catastrophe the country comes. This time, threats arrive simultaneously from every direction, and behind them all stands the same hand: Vladimir Putin, whose determination to secure a permanent foothold in Italy has made the country’s president, its secrets, and its sovereignty expendable.

Private investigator Mauro Bruno and his team are drawn into the storm’s eye—racing with stolen biological samples along Sicily’s back roads, eluding the Mafia, the SVR, and a Russian special-forces unit intent on leaving no witnesses. But Lamberti has engineered something no amount of Russian firepower can stop: a trap so precisely constructed that pursuing it will cost the Russian leader everything—including his life.

What Putin does not know—what almost no one knows—is that Lamberti did not merely set a trap. She set an appointment. And he has already kept it.

The Appointment is a relentless thriller about power, survival, and the kind of revenge that arrives not with a weapon but with a handshake.
