This
novel is the third in the series but there is enough background
material cleverly woven into this narrative that it can easily be
read on its own.
The
plot involves the stories of two people. A new character to the
series is Tally, a twenty year old who is trying to free her mother
from the grasp of a seductive cult. She doesn't realize that there is
something brewing in the evil community that will threaten the fate
of the world.
Returning
is concert pianist Liesl. Having recently foiled a rogue Russian plot
to attack the U.S., she is now preparing for a world concert tour
with her dear friend and violinist, Max. She thinks she is safe
because the man who tried to kill her is dead.
We
find that the danger is still very present, however, when the Russian
President is assassinated. A mad man is setting into motion his plans
to destroy Washington. Even though the CIA and a former KGB agent try
to protect Liesl, this time they may be too late.
This
is a great conclusion to the trilogy. There are plenty of spies and
lots of action. There is one who wants to take over Russia and return
it to its glory. There is another who hates the U.S. president and
wants to see him dead. There is yet another who runs a diabolic cult,
using it as a cover for deadly efforts.
The
characters are well crafted. I loved Ian and Henry. Who says senior
citizens can't help save the world from a Russian menace? They were
great and added a little comic relief.
Also
part of this novel is the theme of forgiveness and healing after such
a devastating event as the Holocaust.
All
around, it is an exciting novel. If you like novels about
international espionage, you'll like this one.
