Publisher Description

In Thailand, two men hire a pair of international pirates to smuggle them, a small team of mercenaries, and some equipment aboard a freighter at a Russian port. It's frighteningly easy, and the ship sails east, toward the western coast of North America. In Washington, D.C., a CIA analyst has been hearing rumors about the sale of radioactive material and military equipment on the black market in deep Russia but can't get it confirmed. The analyst, Hugh Rincon, originally from Alaska and more keenly aware than most in Washington of Alaska's vulnerability with its air force base and proximity to the Far East, begins to piece it all together. He can't get anyone to take him seriously, however, least of all the director of the CIA. Then Hugh learns that his estranged wife, Sarah Lange, is second in command on the Sojourner Truth in the Bering Sea at the heart of the potential conflict. And the chase is on. The first stand-alone thriller from the pen of Dana Stabenow, Edgar® Award-winning author of seventeen crime novels, delivers a nail-biting, action-packed read, international in scope and chillingly real.

    " Love Kate Shugak. Love Liam Campbell. Not too crazy about this one. "

    " Interesting mystery involving the CIA, Coast Guard and a Korean terrorist. "

  • 1 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 51 out of 5

    " Spies, terrorist and Dirk Pitt like hers. Not my sort of novel. Stopped after 6 chapters. "

    - Bcoghill, 2/4/2014
  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " A fair spy thriller. The first 2/3 of this book is often slow and boring, but it has a bang up ending which helps rescue it from the scrap list. "

    - Jeff, 1/31/2014
  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " I have read and enjoyed several of the Kate Shugak stories. I was a little disappointed when I ordered this online from the library, received it and found it wasn't Kate Shugak. But it turns out it is really a clever and complicated mystery about terrorists. Everyone is so focused on the Taliban and Al Queda they neglect to consider the threat that comes from other countries. "

    - Stella, 1/21/2014
  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Good mystery for a day off or to take along when traveling. Built around the fears and tensions of our post-9/11 world, the story involves a complicated plan to launch a dirty bomb, the lone CIA agent who figures things out but can't get anyone to believe him, and the crew of a Coast Guard cutter that is the only thing between the terrorists and their target. Oh yeah, and one of the officers on the cutter is the estranged wife of the CIA guy, just for good measure. It starts out a little slow as the various plot threads get established, but builds to a dramatic finish on stormy seas. A fun read for a lazy afternoon. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " This was very engaging and interesting. Coast Guard and terrorists - not something I would have expected to get into. "

    " I prefer the Kate Shugak books. This was a competent thriller. Highlights include the details about Coast Guard operations, some entertaining digs at intelligence inefficiencies/bureaucracy, and Arlene. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " A little slow starting, but really good story of an CIA/Coast Guard collaboration to thwart an attack on the U.S. in Alaska, but the head of the CIA doesn't believe it, so a husband/wife team are on their own. I plan to read more books by Dana Stabenow. "
