THE BRAND NEW ACTION-PACKED, FAST-PACED THRILLER FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLINGAUTHOR KAREN ROBARDS. PERFECT FOR FANS OF KAREN ROSE OR FILM RED SPARROW With her back against the wall, everything's on the line for Bianca St. Ives. She's either going to save the world-or die tryingIt took one hell of an effort for the authorities to finally get the jump on master manipulator Bianca St. Ives, but now that they have, it's far from the capture she expected. Instead of taking her in, there's an offer on the table, a one-shot deal that would allow Bianca to walk away scot-free as if they'd never found her. And all she has to do is run one last mission-the kind she might never return from. But if Bianca wants to go back to her normal life in Savannah, it's not like she has a choice . . . OR ORDER THE FIRST IN THE SERIES - THE ULTIMATUM - NOW

Tyv. Manipulator. Svindler af format. Kald det, hvad du vil – Bianca St. Ives er uden fortilfælde. Bianca St. Ives har altid vidst, at hun ikke var helt ligesom andre piger på sin alder. I stedet for at hinke eller lege med dukker, blev hun undervist i kampsport og lærte at skille våben ad. Når de andre tog på ferie med deres forældre, tog hun på job med sin far, hvor hun lærte at holde hovedet koldt og slippe af sted med hvad som helst. Hun blev så at sige oplært til at deltage i familieforretningen. Nu er hun 26, gudesmuk og med imponerende evner inden for sit fag. Det, andre tyve har stjålet, stjæler de tilbage – til dem, der betaler dem for det. Men det sidste kup i Bahrain gik ikke helt efter planen – de to hundrede millioner dollars og tophemmelige officielle dokumenter, de skulle have fingrene i under en stor fest i prinsens palads, var allerede væk, da de lukkede boksen op. Og hendes far gik op i røg på opgaven. Sagen er bare, at den amerikanske efterretningstjeneste ikke tror på, at han er død. Og de vil gøre alt, hvad der står i deres magt for at fange ham, inklusiv bruge hans datter som lokkedue. Med meget lidt hjælp og hendes liv på spil, er det op til Bianca at finde frem til, hvad der egentlig er sket – og rette op på det, før det er for sent. Nomade 44 er en actionpræget spændingsroman om svindelnumre, storstilede kup og et ikke helt normalt far-datter-forhold med den unge, smukke og modige Bianca i hovedrollen.

Klog, udspekuleret og parat til kamp – der er kun én Bianca St. Ives i verden, og det gør folk klogt i ikke at glemme. Bianca St. Ives var for nylig igennem den helt store vridemaskine, men hun landede, som hun altid gør – og som hendes far har lært hende fra barnsben – på benene igen. Mens hun kommer sig over afsløringerne om sit ophav, der har forårsaget en menneskejagt uden lige, gør Bianca sig klar til at tage sin skæbne i egne hænder. Det er dræb eller bliv dræbt! I takt med at Bianca gør, hvad hun kan for at komme af dødslisten på det mørke internet, bliver hun involveret i et nyt stort kup: bryd ind i Pusjkinmuseet og stjæl kong Priams skat – en samling af uvurderlige artefakter, russerne stjal under anden verdenskrig – og aflever den tilbage til tyskerne. Umuligt? Måske, men for Bianca St. Ives ligger den slags normalt lige til højrebenet. Men for hvert skridt hun tager, kommer fjenden to skridt nærmere. Lever man som Bianca på lånt tid, har man dog ikke noget at tabe. Troede hun. Liv eller død er lige så hæsblæsende og underholdende som Nomade 44 – og Bianca St. Ives viser endnu en gang, at hun i den grad er James Bond værdig.
