Overview
The Temptation Algorithm
Write what you know. But what if what you know gets you killed? Joshua Presnell is a washed-up writer with a dying career and a mountain of demons. When his billionaire publisher, Valentine Cardi, offers him a chance to live the life of a high-stakes international courier for "inspiration," Josh takes the bait. The mission seems simple: transport a backpack from the gritty alleys of Naples to the docks of Palermo. No drugs, no violence-just a game to spark his next bestseller. But the game is a trap, and the rules were written in blood. After witnessing a cold-blooded massacre of Italian officers in Sicily, Josh realizes he isn't just a researcher-he's a pawn in a shadow war. He is now the target of a rogue, deep-state conspiracy led by the chilling "Man in the Trench Coat"-a CIA shadow who needs Josh, and the backpack, to disappear forever. His only hope lies in an unlikely alliance: Detective Giancarlo Corvino, a veteran of the Naples ROS, and Special Agent Miller of the FBI. As the two lawmen bridge the gap between Italy and Washington to track the "Yankee courier," they realize they aren't just trying to solve a crime-they are fighting to save a man from being erased by his own government. Caught in the gears of the Temptation Algorithm, Josh must survive the labyrinthine streets of Palermo long enough for Corvino and Miller to reach him. But in a world of rogue agents and hidden agendas, trust is the deadliest gamble of all.This item is Non-Returnable
