When her fiancé, a CIA operative accused of treason, is killed overseas, intelligence analyst Maggie Jenkins smells cover-up and sets out to clear his name. Maggie disobeys direct orders and travels to Tbilisi, Georgia, to follow a trail littered with secrets and lies, corruption and deceit, risking her own life to expose the terrorist threat at the intersection where the Russian Mafia, Chechen rebels, Al Qaeda and … US government officials meet.
From the halls of power in Washington, D.C. to the political chaos of the former Soviet Union, Maggie must confront players from the intelligence, political, and criminal worlds who will do anything to stop her. How far will Maggie go to uncover the truth?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In 2003, CIA intelligence analyst Maggie Jenkins, the heroine of Ouellette's gripping debut and series launch, is preparing for her imminent marriage to CIA operative Steve Ryder when she learns he's been killed in a terrorist bombing in Tbilisi, Georgia. Adding to her shock is the suggestion that Steve might have been involved in treasonous activity. Against orders, Maggie leaves Washington, D.C., for Tbilisi, where her efforts to clear Steve's name and find out who was behind the bombing put her life in danger. Unsure whom she can trust, Maggie realizes she must rely on her own instincts to survive, and she becomes bolder and craftier as she closes in on a plot against America whose players include the Russian mafia, Chechen rebels, and corrupt U.S. officials. Refreshingly, Maggie has no shooting or martial arts skills to rely on, only her wits. Ouellette, a former CIA analyst, brings plenty of authenticity to this fast-paced spy thriller. Readers will look forward to Maggie's further adventures.
