Publisher Description
When People's Republic Flight 91 crashes in northeastern Ukraine with a U.S. diplomatic agent onboard, U.S. Diplomatic Security Service Agent Raisa Jordan is sent to investigate. The agent was escorting a prisoner home from Guangzhou, China, along with sensitive documents, and it quickly becomes apparent that the plane was intentionally downed. Was it to silence the two Americans onboard?
To avoid a diplomatic incident, Jordan must discover what the Americans knew that was worth killing hundreds to cover up. With Russia deeply entangled in the Ukraine and the possibility that China could be hiding reasons to bring down its own plane, tensions are high.
As international relations and even more lives hang in the balance, Jordan races to stop a new Cold War. Red Sky, Chris Goff's pulse-pounding follow-up to Dark Waters, is yet another white-knuckle joyride for fans of Gayle Lynds.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Goff's fine sequel to 2015's Dark Waters takes U.S. Diplomatic Security Service agent Raisa Jordan to Ukraine to investigate a plane crash that killed a fellow agent, George McClasky. A DSS legend, McClasky was escorting fugitive Kia Zhen, a Chinese-American from San Francisco, back to the U.S. to face espionage charges. At the crash site in a farm field, she realizes there's more to the tragedy and McClasky's mission than she thought. And she's right: the airliner was downed by a team of Russians using a land-based railgun, a secret weapon in development by the U.S. and other countries. The Russians intend to use the gun again in an attack that will help them take over Ukraine. It's a convoluted plot, but the action is straightforward; readers will breeze past the political complications to race along with Jordan and her love interest, journalist Nye Davis, as they battle to prevent the Russian attack. Jordan's indomitable spirit keeps her moving forward, especially when the bad guys, and even the good guys, tell her to back off.
