Detective Kate Bowen is out of time—and out of options.

When a surveillance operation on the Irish border goes wrong and her target vanishes, Kate is left red-faced and racing against the clock. She has to work smart to figure out where Sean O'Hare is and what he's plotting.

British Security services raise the national threat level to critical and prepare to take over the case but Kate discovers a French connection and reaches out to Paris. Unknown to everone, the fugitive has already slipped the net, met vital contacts in the City of Light and travelled halfway around the world.

Now embroiled in an international web of deception, Kate faces a chilling truth: his treacherous deal with a militant Islamic group could trigger a devastating terrorist strike.

Torn from a rare romantic weekend by an urgent French tipoff, Kate is dispatched to assist in covert surveillance. As her helicopter thunders across the English Channel, she wonders if this mission will cost her everything, especially the people she loves most.

The Devil's Luck is the gripping first book in T. R. Croke's Detective Kate Bowen Crime Thriller Series—a fast-paced police procedural of deception, retribution, and shocking international twists.
