SHEHKRii-The Flame I D Martin

Johan Lutz is visiting a family friend in London when he gets a call from the British Organized Crime Directorate. They've captured a courier for The Twelve, a shadowy organization in the Balkans, which Lutz, an Interpol Magistrate, has on a watch list. The head of the OCD, Charles Braithwaite, quickly becomes a confidante, and the two men beginning hunting the organization. Unfortunately, The Twelve start hunting back. But Lutz has resources outside Interpol which can do things modern law enforcement cannot, would not. Elsewhere in England, Dr. Neil Carlisle has spent most of his adult life attempting to explain Druidic lore in scientific terms something religious organizations frown on severely. When his funding is suddenly pulled, his life's work seems to be ruined. Until Hilde Nordstrom offers Neil and his team a life line; with conditions, of course. Science and mythology form a curious blend, which frightens Carlisle even more than a failed academic career. And the intimidating Miss Nordstrom is a friend of Johan Lutz's mother, one of those unconventional resources that can work wonders. The interlocking stories weave a tapestry of conspiracies, greed and concealed violence, leading to a climactic battle in the back streets of New York City.
