The bat shattered Susan’s ribs and dropped her to the ground. The blow to her skull sent her to hell.

When the prime suspect died of a sudden heart attack, the investigation into her brutal murder went cold—and stayed that way for twenty years.

Now, four vibrant widows from wildly different backgrounds are done sitting at home. Bonded by loss and a longing to see the world, they call themselves The Wandering Widows and set sail on a transatlantic cruise from the U.S. to Barcelona, eager for a little adventure.

They get far more than they bargained for.
A carefree day of shopping on La Rambla ends with the sighting of a ghost, a breathless chase through the crowds, and a tangle with shadowy military spies. Soon they’re caught in the crosshairs of an unsolved murder, missing children, two fresh corpses—and more than one killer who will do anything to stay hidden.

In this third book of the Fate series, angels and demons return to wage war for human souls, from the honky-tonks of Nashville to the sun-soaked streets of Barcelona. The Wandering Widows are about to learn that when heaven and hell collide, no one’s vacation is safe.
