Tears of Red

From the publisher

In the deadly world of the Russian mob, betrayal of the CODE is paid for in blood Two Australian tourists, Dr Penny Bradshaw and her wife Dr Helen McKenzie, vanish without a trace in Saint Petersburg on the first day of their long-awaited honeymoon river cruise. No witnesses. No records. Russian officials insist the women were never there.
Months pass and hope fades, until a chilling message emerges from the Russian Mafia. The women are alive, but their freedom comes at an unthinkable price. They must be exchanged for Pavel Yukovich, the eldest son of a ruthless crime dynasty with a reach that spans continents.
In Tears of Red, Judith Dun delivers a high-stakes international thriller packed with espionage, extortion, murder, and deadly power struggles. As secret deals unfold and loyalties are tested, the Bradshaw family is plunged into a shadow world where one mistake could cost everything. There are many kinds of love. Love between partners. Love of family, and then there is the most dangerous love of all. The love of power.
