Books like The scorpio illusion by Robert Ludlum

In Robert Ludlum’s newest espionage novel, the deadly agent Amaya Bajaratt seeks vengeance for the murder of her lover by orchestrating a bombing campaign that targets the United States, Britain, France, and Israel. With the aid of a shadowy coalition known as the Scorpios, she plots to use a massive transfer of black money to coordinate her attacks. Former naval intelligence officer Tyrell Hawthorne, haunted by the death of his wife in a spy‑related raid, is recruited by the international intelligence community to track Bajaratt across continents—from islands in the Caribbean to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. As Hawthorne navigates clandestine networks and treacherous waters, the story weaves high stakes, global conspiracy, and lethal intrigue characteristic of Ludlum’s most suspenseful thrillers.
