Synopsis

The second audiobook in the international espionage Stephanie Patrick Thriller series, soon to be a major motion picture from the producers of the James Bond film series, starring Blake Lively, Sterling K. Brown, and Jude Law.

They are chameleons. Beyond the law, beyond morality, they’ve survived by adapting, whatever the circumstances. And by trusting nobody but themselves.

Stephanie Patrick, a woman who was more comfortable under an alias than she was with herself, has traversed the world and forgotten who she is. Now, she wants to put her past behind her.

Konstantin Komarov. The FBI call him the Don from the Don. Today, at the heart of a financial empire created by the Russian crime pandemic, he’s as comfortable in Manhattan as he is in Moscow or Magadan.

Between them exists Koba, an old alias for a new threat.

In a world where trust is weakness, honesty is naivety, brutality is routine, could falling in love be the greatest risk?

Goodreads review by Kathy

Meh, at first the book seemed exciting and I love strong female leads. As the book went along the dialog and action became a blur of similar thoughts, words and actions. I completely lost interest and skipped ahead to finish the book. I didn't miss anything.......more


Quotes

"Chameleon is a Casablanca for the 21st century. Burnell writes with verve and assurance about the unsavoury realities of international terrorism. Where he really excels, however, is with his characters. Not only are his two protagonists convincingly complex and three-dimensional, but they also share a love story which is as moving as it is passionate." --Boris Starling, bestselling author of Messiah


"Bigger and slicker in every way than his first novel. If you buy no other thriller this holiday season, buy this one." --The Economist
