"Annette Kinnear invites her readers to join her in a thrill ride by introducing an adventure that truly does not fit in any one simple genre "box." This novel is a thrilling, psychological, and a mysterious tale filled with dark twisted political plots by use of international powers as well as brilliantly perverted and torturous tactics that create a romantic illusion.
