A double agent, she had been secretly working for both the FBI's Maggie Sachet and Russia's intelligence chief Vasili Selishanko. What happens when the crypt is opened launches a mesmerizing international spy story, with a web of intrigue that circles from the White House to Arkhangelsk and back, all the while spinning rumors of life-threatening danger to millions. Enter into the plot a highly respected atmospheric scientist who apparently commits suicide by hurricane, an elderly Chinese widow with all the answers, and a dead body at home with Maggie, and the plot thickens like her perfectly done béarnaise sauce.
