A Stranger on the Shore

Sixty-something Emily Cowan, aka “Amina Desai”, is overcoming the aches and pains of passing for the new forty by analyzing terrorist threats for The ISIS Project think tank.  While trading information and flirting with death to make the right global connection, she meets student Alina Qureshi, an American Muslim with both a secret and a very hostile father! Into the mix comes the sexy child bride of a terrorist-mastermind hiding out in Pakistan while his outraged senior wife is on her way to the love nest ready to “take out his eyes”. Stir in Bibi Gupta, another member of the ISIS Project, whose Chesapeake waterfront home becomes the landing spot for a corpse. Throw in a twist of betrayal and hostage taking and the end result is a lethal cocktail of terror!
