ILLICIT SHADOWS: Book 1
THE UMBRA CIRCLE ©
Investigative founders Santiago Ignacio De La Cruz and Dr. Samira Radcliffe establish the world’s first museum dedicated to unveiling the hidden architecture of global crime convergence.
From Washington, D.C. to London, Rome, and Mexico City, the Museum of Illicit Shadows (MIS) © merges education, intelligence, and storytelling—connecting the dots between transnational trafficking, counterfeit economies, corruption, and the erosion of global security.
When a Mexican diplomat is assassinated in London, Santiago and Samira are drawn into a high-stakes web of espionage and intrigue. Partnering with intelligence allies and law enforcement across continents, they uncover The Umbra Circle—a secret network of politicians, financiers, and organized crime groups manipulating world systems for power and profit.
What begins as a museum to expose the shadows becomes the center of a real-world war to dismantle them.
