Publisher Description
Who owns the most powerful man in the world?
Her code name is Kingfisher. Her mission: to seduce and marry a man of wealth and political influence. Now she must protect a terrifying secret.
October 2016: In America, the election is a few weeks away. Journalist Grace Elliott has just landed a scoop that she believes will make her career. A porn star is willing to talk about her affair with the man some hope and many fear will become the next president of the United States. But no one will touch it. Not even Grace's boss, the right-wing publisher of America's leading tabloid. Instead, Grace is sent to Europe where she discovers a story so big, so explosive that it could decide the American election and launch a new Cold War. As long as she can stay alive long enough to tell it.
Spies, murder, and one of the biggest conspiracies of our time lie at the heart of this immersive thriller.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
According to the publisher, the author of this entertaining conspiracy thriller is a former journalist "whose identity is being kept secret in order to protect the ideas that inspired this novel." Shortly before the 2016 election, Grace Elliott, the book's heroine, is writing a story for the National Flash, a Montreal-based tabloid, about porn star Violet Rain, who claims to have slept with New York businessman, automobile entrepreneur, and presidential candidate Anthony Craig. The Flash buys the story, but it's never released. Meanwhile, Grace has a falling out with Craig's ex-wife, former gymnastics star Elena Klimentov , with whom she has been writing a column. After Elena fires Grace, Grace decides to write an expose about Elena that proves she's a Czech secret agent, code name Kingfisher, who uses seduction techniques to ensnare powerful men. Bodies begin to pile up in Grace's wake as she travels around Europe gathering dirt. Readers familiar with the saga of Donald Trump and his first wife, Ivana, will have fun deciding how much of this roman clef is based on the truth.
