Kiss of the Death Adder

Herr Rafael Blosch was about to reveal unknown details regarding the enigmatic Quer when he was fatally bitten by a death adder that had crawled up through a dank, discoloured cavity in the floor of his sweltering cell in the Desert Springs Interrogation Facility. The rapacious Quer, with its roots in the olden Gallic Celtic period, had modern day tentacles reaching into international financial institutions including the European Union. All but one member of the Quer had been captured with Herr Blosch and assumed to be still in safe custody in the same interrogation facility. But with their subsequent assassinations, the mission for Alexandra Belliveau and Paul Bernard, agents of the European Union Intelligence Unit, was changed from capturing or killing the one final elusive member of the Quer to keeping him alive, at all costs.
