The Italian Divide

Former CIA Director Craig Page is enjoying his new life as Italian race car driver Enrico Marino—but when he hears that his friend and sponsor, prominent Italian banker Frederico Castiglione, has been found dead, he suspects foul play. 

Craig embarks on an investigation to solve the riddles underlying Castiglione’s murder, but the pieces don’t quite fit. As he uncovers a complicated web of mysterious political and financial takeovers across Italy, Craig begins to discover clues linking back to China and his sworn enemy, Zhou Yun.

In The Italian Divide loyalties lie deep, dangerous alliances are made to be broken, and organized crime is omnipotent. Allan Topol’s latest Craig Page thriller is an electrifying foray into the world of international intrigue. Against blackmail, extortion, and treason, can Craig Page still prevail?
