The passion and suspense of Cherry Adair’s latest killer
trilogy, begun in NIGHT FALL and continued in NIGHT
SECRETS, now reaches its explosive conclusion in NIGHT
SAHDOW, as mismatched international agents take on evil
head-to-head – and each other heart-to-heart.
Aside
from working for the international anti-terrorism agency T-
FLAC (and having the same last name), Lexi Stone and Alex
Stone are polar opposites, right down to Lexi’s mere
mortality and Alex’s paranormal powers. While straight-
arrow Lexi pushes paper at an Internal Affairs desk,
renegade Alex is busy pushing the envelope as he pursues
the most dangerous global criminals. And though Lexi
disdains his rule-breaking bravado and cowboy tactics, she
can’t deny Alex’s skills when it comes to getting his man
(not to mention any number of women) – just as she can’t
ignore how his roguish charm makes her heart race and her
temperature rise.
But Lexi’s secret desires clash
head-on with her duties when suspicions arise that Alex is
poised to switch sides – and join forces with a European
terrorist cell. Tapped for her first field mission, Lexi
finds herself assigned to shadow Alex’s every move, and if
necessary, terminate him. Despite her feelings, Lexi’s
willing and able to carry out her orders, as long there’s
proof that Alex is a traitor. But getting the goods – and
the drop – on her superagent quarry becomes an even tougher
task when Lexi and Alex suddenly find themselves partners
on an emergency mission in Russia.
When terrorists
seize a busy Moscow railway station for ransom, then
abruptly massacre their hostages and vanish into thin air,
the agents realize they’re facing adversaries possessing
of the same paranormal abilities as Alex’s elite T-
FLAC/psi unit. But after Lexi kills an armed suspect
during a breathless rooftop chase, she makes a series of
shocking discoveries about the enemy T-FLAC is facing, the
troubling truth Alex has been concealing, and the
terrifying plot of a treacherous mastermind that could
spell the downfall of T-FLAC’s most powerful and valued
operatives. To save precious lives and stop the rise of a
superhuman terrorist threat, Lexi and Alex must work as a
well-oiled team in a race across the globe – and against
time – with lethal shadows looming behind them, and no one
to trust but each other.
Jen, I had no idea you too are a frustrated secret agent! Love the idea of James Bond meets I Dream of Jeannie. I love Cherry Adair - her books are always full of fast-paced action and adventure (very James Bond, now that I think of it), and loads of sizzling sexual tension. Can't wait to read NIGHT SHADOW.
