Summary:

Diana Deverell was a U.S. Foreign Service officer in such places as
San Salvador and Poland. So when she has the central character of her
tough and moving debut thriller give us inside details of a State
Department agency dedicated to fighting terrorists, they have the
smack and tang of reality. Kathryn "Casey" Collins finds her work
becoming personal and very dangerous when her renegade Polish
intelligence agent-lover Stefan Krajewski appears to have been one of
the 200-plus victims in the bombing of an airliner on the 10th
anniversary of the Lockerbie massacre. When Casey tries to do some
freelance digging, she somehow becomes one of the bad guys--targeted
by the FBI for possible involvement in the bombing. Also hot on her
trail are the terrorists themselves, looking for revenge for the role
she and Stefan played in nabbing the original Lockerbie villains. Add
to the mix an inscrutable Danish Lutheran priest and Army officer
(known as Father-Major) now running a covert intelligence operation
and you have a milieu worthy of the best of Len Deighton, if not John
Le Carré. With those and other masters of the espionage genre making
increasingly rare appearances these days, it's good to have someone
as skilled as Deverell arriving so stylishly on the scene. --Dick
Adler
