Thriller Political
Former CIA analyst Francine Mathews has created “one of the
toughest female secret agents we’ve seen in a long time.”*
Using her firsthand expertise of international espionage,
Mathews offers another brilliantly realized suspense novel
so intense, so authentic, it lethally blurs the line
between fact and fiction. In Blown, Caroline Carmichael
returns in a white-hot tale of terror on the streets of
Washington, where one woman must gamble her life to save
her country. As thousands of runners line up for the Marine Corps
Marathon in Washington, D.C., no one suspects that in a
matter of hours the event will become a race between life
and death. CIA analyst Caroline Carmichael is about to
tender her resignation, when the first reports of a
terrorist attack pour in–and she instantly recognizes the
hand of an enemy she’s battled for years: the 30 April
Organization. The neo-Nazi group is alive and well and
operating in the United States, assassinating top officials
and abducting a vulnerable child from the front ranks of a
state funeral. When Caroline’s husband, Eric, is arrested
in Germany as a 30 April operative, Caroline has no choice
but to take to the streets–and target the evil herself. Eric has worked as a “legend” for years–a false identity so
perfect, the CIA believes he’s dead–and gone deep
undercover within the terrorist group Caroline is
determined to destroy. Now his cover’s been blown, and
Eric’s intimate knowledge of 30 April’s plans makes him a
target for both sides: the killers he’s betrayed, and the
American government he’s sworn to protect. Torn between a desire to save her husband and her duty to
save her country, Caroline is drawn back into a treacherous
labyrinth where trusting others is as good as suicide. For
the enemy this time wears a familiar face: that of an
American patriot, waving his flag alongside his gun. To
stem disaster, Caroline has only one choice: to betray
everyone in which she believes–or everyone she loves. For an agent without cover–an agent who’s blown–is worse
than betrayed: she’s as good as dead.
