The King Prawn-Volume 1 of the Desert Rose Trilogy A murdered businesswoman. A cartel kingpin. A relentless intelligence officer. A young homicide cop. Four lives bound by secrets, betrayal, and deadly choices. Rabah, a ruthless cartel mastermind of Arab-Thai descent, rose from Paris's rough streets to command Southeast Asia's most powerful drug and weapons empire-built on blood and brilliance. A decade ago, he crushed the Mexican cartels in the Mekong, igniting a war for revenge. Opposite him stands Lenard, a cold, methodical French intelligence officer shaped by a legacy of power and supremacy. His mission: bring Rabah to justice. But their pasts are intertwined in ways neither suspects, and their feelings toward each other are far more complicated than anyone could expect... When Nehir-a Turkish businesswoman, Rabah's daughter's mother, and possibly involved in human trafficking-is found murdered, an international investigation thrusts Rabah into the spotlight. Lenard teams up with Turkish authorities-but his motives run deeper than justice. At the heart of the case is Dolunay, a young homicide officer assigned to assist Lenard during his time in Istanbul. Then, boom-after a drunken mistake, she's unexpectedly forced into an uneasy alliance with Rabah. As loyalties blur and danger escalates, who is hunter-and who is prey? The King Prawn is a gripping thriller of power, passion, and betrayal that launches the Desert Rose trilogy.
