A murder in East Aurora begins another tale of the espionage adventures of the O'Connell family. As retired CIA officer Barbara O'Connell follows the trail of an Irish assassin, her daughter, SOF operator Sue O'Connell (AKA MIKE4), tracks a terrorist smuggling ring in Afghanistan. The two threads of the story end with a final, explosive climax on the Dalmatian Coast of the Adriatic Sea.
