Shadows in the Aftermath
By Marianne Scott
Genre:- Suspense, Thriller
Pages:- 336
Publisher:- FriesenPress
Blurb:-Ruby Draker has found new strength, and is ready to move on after Felix Szaba devastated the Draker estate in Nice, France. Three Drakers are dead leaving Ruby in grief and with thoughts of revenge. The Drakers are  family built of survivors; each rescued from Felix Szaba a psychopath, who sought to murder his former agents at the CIA whom he believed betrayed him. The Drakers sole mission is to stop Szaba from adding more victims to his list, and although he also perished during the invasion his legacy continues to haunt them. When the Drakers learn that Robert Draker, presumed dead since the shoot-out at Robert's farmhouse, may be alive and at a rehab clinic in Portland, Maine, the Drakers know it could be a set up, but they have no choice but to try to find him and bring Robert home.
 Shocked that Robert may be alive after all, the family head from France to America to find him. It's only when they arrive in the west that they realize finding Robert won't be as easy as they thought.
 Szaba has found a way to  terrorize the Draker family, even after death. His outstanding dept with a Corsican crime family mean the Drakers must now find and deliver a shipment of plutonium,  which will likely be used by terrorists to create a nuclear bomb, to get Robert back. As Ruby struggles with the decision to save her brother or North America, she must also evade the CIA, who are trying to stop the Drakers from delivering the plutonium.

My Review:- I have to say I was only to happy to review this book after reading and reviewing Finding Ruby Draker (review in my grid). You could read as a stand alone as it does tell a bit of book 1 but I would personally say read book1 first. After finding out that Robert might still be alive the Drakers have to find the truth. With the help from the Seniors, they go to find Robert, but it's not as straightforward as you might think. The Corsican family with Mateo at the head of the family has been promised plutonium by Felix, but now Felix is dead, time is running out for him. Mateo knows that the Drakers are the only people that can get the plutonium for him, so he has something he knows the Drakers will come looking for. There are many twists and turns in the story it will have you guessing, but will your guesses be right? Will the Drakers be able to find the plutonium or will it end with a bang?
