Everyone has secrets. Some secrets are worth killing for.In Stoneham, Massachusetts, not far from Boston, Marco and his friend Antonio are after a mysterious artifact hidden somewhere inside a Victorian house in a quiet suburban neighborhood. The house has new owners, so getting their hands on the artifact is more challenging than they bargained for—and more dangerous.
The artifact itself holds secrets Marco and Antonio don’t even know about, and to make matters worse, they’re not the only ones after it.Meanwhile, Marco’s pizzeria-owning uncle dials up the pressure to retrieve the artifact. And he’s not the only one breathing down their necks.
An attorney with a payment deadline lingers over their heads and a ruthless group of criminals with mob-like supremacy conspires against them in a race against time.All of which leads Marco to wonder: What’s so special about the artifact and why does everyone want it?And what happens if he doesn’t find it first? Or worse, if he does?Previously published as Operation Salazar by Dan Lawton.
