Description

The terrorist threat has changed. The consequences haven’t.

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?

Modern Day Thriller

A Thriller of a book, especially since it could actually happen in real life. It kept me in suspense the whole time, I couldn't read fast enough. It has a bit of everything, danger, intrigue, murder, shoot outs, Russians, Chechen's, mobsters and corrupt government agents.

Maggie and her fiancée Steven are both government agents. Maggie works for the CIA. Stephen is murdered in a bombing in the country of Georgia just across the border from Russia. When he is accused of selling secrets to the Russians Maggie knows she has to find out what happened and clear his name.

She travels to Georgia and finds danger and a dangerous plot to harm America. She finds out she cannot trust those she thought were friends and is not even sure she can trust her own boss.
This book plays out in spell binding terror as she fights for her life and the truth. The saddest part is after finding her way back to America she finds she is in even more danger than before.

You won't want to miss a moment of this intriguing spy story. Pick up a copy and read it, I recommend it.

Thanks to Susan Ouelette, Camcat Books, and NetGalley for allowing me to read a copy for an honest review.

Wow !
While this is not my usual genre, I am so glad I opened the first page.
From page one I was a Maggie fan, Maggie and her fiancé are both CIA agents. Her fiancé is killed while on a mission. And if that wasn’t enough someone is trying you say he was a spy and tarnish his reputation. Maggie decides to do anything to clear his name
Secrets, lies, trust or don’t trust!
Thank you to Netgalley and Susan Ouellette for an advanced reading copy

Loved this book! From the opening paragraph to the very last sentence, Ms. Ouellette kept me on the edge of my seat. This is a well thought out, believable spy-thriller that could be lifted from the headlines.

The heroine is Maggie, an intel analyst whose fiancé, a CIA operative, is killed in a bombing in Tbilisi, Georgia. She is told that it may not have been a matter of wrong place/wrong time, so she starts to do what analysts do and the story just gets better from there.

Trust me. If you like espionage and thrillers, pick up this book! Ms. Ouellette knows what she is writing about and the characters are well developed and believable. Maggie is a strong female character and I hope to see her in more books. I can see this story on the big screen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ms. Ouellette for an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.
