Publisher Description
Carla, a ruthless ex-Mossad agent, helps a notorious arms dealer steal nuclear warheads from a missile base in Ukraine that's about to be decommissioned. But she has a private agenda that her comrades can't even begin to suspect.
When Carla breaks into the FBI office in Seattle to find a buyer who's in the Witness Protection Program, she stumbles across Derek, a small-time thief who's helping the FBI sting a gangster. Before you can say "double-cross," they're being chased by the FBI, the CIA, the Mafia, vengeful arms dealers, and the Mossad assassins that have been trying to take Carla down for a year.
The spree of kidnappings, tricks, betrayals, gunfights, near-misses, car chases, and helicopter stunts ranges all over the Northwest into Canada. Their only hope for survival, and to stop the warheads from falling into the wrong hands, is to find a way to turn the chase around and become the hunters instead of the hunted.
Throughout the chaos of narrow escapes, explosions, and flying bullets, only one person has any real understanding of what's happening or any hope of preventing the nuclear terrorism she's helped unleash: the unstoppable Carla.

Exhilarating action story you won’t want to put down
A thriller featuring spies, arms dealers, and mobsters is most certainly going to contain foul language. What did guggie531 think they were reading?? Carla is focused on her mission and merciless with bad guys, but she has a sense of humor and at her core is a good person who must do cruel things to save the day. Derek is a hapless geek who stumbles into her way and evolves believably from a tool, to an ally, to a partner. This is a fast-paced, thrilling beach read.

I don't understand why authors have to ruin their books by adding such garbage language in the story. This would have been a great book without the filthy language. I found it to be so offensive that I barely read any of it.
