Book Excerpt:
After ending the call, Kevin
walked to the file cabinet and pulled out two six-inch-thick folders labeled,
The Magician: File One of Two, and The Magician: File Two of Two. He returned
to his seat, dropped both files on top of his desk, and began scanning their
many sections. Picking up the second file, Kevin then turned to the section
labeled Daniela and reached into a large pocket-style envelope to withdraw an
eight-by-ten photograph. Daniela’s beauty was captivating, her look so
vulnerable. How could she be related to someone as evil as Santiago?
He desperately believed Daniela knew nothing about the violent crimes her
brother had committed. Kevin even refused to use her last name and always
referred to her simply as Daniela. He could not bear to relate the name of Santiago
with someone so pure and innocent. Kevin looked down, grimacing. Am I losing
control? As the special agent in charge, he understood the importance of
remaining detached. Kevin knew he could not allow Daniela to affect him.
Unfortunately, though, she had. From the first moment he met her, Kevin felt an
attraction and worried it would cloud his judgment. Even now, as he tried to
look away from her haunting image, he found his gaze glued to her picture as he
lost himself in the night they first met.
