When Sophie Medina returns from a photojournalist assignment
to her London flat, she finds a bloodbath. It appears that
her husband, Nick Canning, has been killed or kidnapped.
Nick works as a geologist for Crowne Engery, but is also a
covert CIA operative. A few days later, Nick's boss is found
dead. A few weeks after that, Nick's CIA handler is
discovered dead in Iskar, Abadistan. Nick's body is never
found by the authorities, and now they are thinking that
Nick faked his own death/kidnapping, and that he is
responsible for the deaths of these other two people who are
connected to him.
Three months later, Sophie decides to return the United
States and find a job there. Her family is here and she has
nothing keeping her in London now. She believes Nick is
still alive, is determined to find him and thinks her
chances are better in the US. Her new photography job puts
her in contact with some pretty high level individuals who
help her discover what Nick was working on. It seems that
several different parties want the well logs that Nick was
in possession of from tests done in Abadistan. What is in
those well logs that has caused people to kill for them? Did
someone from within the CIA betray Nick?
MULTIPLE EXPOSURE is a fast-paced mystery with political
intrigue, car chases, art history, international espionage,
blackmail and personal scandal all rolled into one. Sophie
finds herself in several situations where the bad guys have
guns and all she has is her camera. Sometimes she's not sure
if the good guys are really good guys or bad guys. This is a
story about trust, honesty and loyalty. Ellen Crosby paints
beautiful visual imagery of her characters' surroundings
with her command of the English language. She makes you want
to stroll through some of the parks and gardens she is
describing. Her characters are strong and well developed,
with varied personalities. Each lends just the right voice
to move the plot along. The Russian art history lesson
included in this story about the Faberge Eggs is fantastic.
I'm looking forward to the next installment in this new
Sophie Medina series. Do not miss this one!
When photojournalist Sophie Medina returns to London from an overseas assignment, she discovers that her husband, Nick, a geologist and covert CIA operative, has been abducted. Three months later she is shocked when a friend in the British government says Nick has been spotted in Moscow and is not only a suspect in his boss’s murder but also potentially involved in illicit Russian oil deals. With her every step now closely watched, Sophie moves to Washington, D.C., to be with her family and friends. There, Sophie is drawn deeper into Nick’s shadowy world. While photographing an exhibit of two never-before-seen Fabergé imperial eggs at the National Gallery of Art, Sophie is confronted by a Russian oil tycoon, implicating her husband in an international energy scheme. On the run from Nick’s enemies, Sophie plays a high-stakes game of Russian roulette as she tries to determine friend from foe and prove her husband’s innocence.
