β¦ Synopsis
Christopher Kruse has moved to the south of France with his wife and daughter to become a better manβto escape his past as a high-priced security agent and his guilt over old wrongs. But when death comes crashing into their newly idyllic life, the Kruses find themselves drawn into a web of political gamesmanship and murder. When his wife disappears, Christopher must draw on his old instincts to find her, ahead of the police and two sinister members of a Corsican crime family. As Christopherβs desperate search leads him closer to his wife, it pulls him deeper into the dangerous machinations of the most powerful leaders in the country.
Come Barbarians is a gripping novel of murder, revenge and high stakes, balanced by moments of love, loyalty and loss. Todd Babiak has created a complex, magnetic character forced to confront his bleakest hour and his darkest impulses.
