About this ebook

Ciller Terzili, a young Turkish woman is thrown into the maelstrom of her father’s illicit business dealings when he falls into depression after most of her family are suddenly killed in a tragic accident. Her story is one of trust and disappointment, as she learns the truth about his past and those she confides in, let her down with tragic consequences.

She becomes stronger as a result and establishes herself as a leading and influential figure in in the European underworld. For Terzili, her motivation is the perpetual search for security and respectability which that no man can provide.

As her reputation grows, so does the trail of her highly profitable criminal enterprises, bringing her to the attention of Phil Marshall from the UK’s National Crime Agency, who sees the arrest of Ciller Terzili as an essential career step towards fulfilling his ambition of bringing an international crime syndicate to justice.

But she is operating outside his jurisdiction and finds himself party to a partnership with secret services in the UK and Israel to secure his objective.

In The Value of Luck, the two opposing forces of good and evil are destined to collide.

There can only be one winner.
