Gypsy Amber by Ursula Wong

One plane crash. One coverup. One man in the crosshairs of a Russia-China shadow war.

When a jetliner explodes over Central Asia killing hundreds of Russian tourists, the world believes it’s an act of terror. Russia’s president—the most powerful woman in the world—seizes the moment, declaring herself the champion against terrorism, and sending her troops across borders.

But Vit Partenkas, head of the Lithuanian watchdog group Baltic Watch, suspects a darker agenda. His investigation uncovers a bogus maze of Central Asian shell companies tied to China, and evidence suggesting the attack was no accident.

Hunted by assassins and racing against time, Vit must uncover the truth before the manufactured lies ignite a conflict that could shift the balance of power across a continent.
