Thriller P.I.
In this exciting international thriller featuring Japanese antiques art dealer and PI Jim Brodie, a double- murder at the Kennedy Center forces Brodie into a dangerous game of espionageβputting him in the crosshairs of the Chinese, North Korean, and American governments. Jim Brodie is an antiques dealer, Japan expert, and second-generation private investigator. When two theater friends are murdered backstage at a Kennedy Center performance in Washington, DC, heβs devastatedβand determined to hunt down the killer. Heβs not the only one. After the attack, Brodie is summoned to the White House. The First Lady was the college roommate of one of the victims, and she enlists Brodieβoff the booksβto use his Japanese connections to track down the assassin. Homeland Security head Tom Swelley is furious that the White House is meddling and wants Brodie off the case. Why? For the same reason a master Chinese spy known only as Zhou, one of the most dangerous men alive, appears on the scene: Those murders were no random act of violence. Brodie flies to Tokyo to attend the second of two funerals, when his friendβs daughter Anna is kidnapped during the ceremony. It is then Brodie realizes that the murders were simply bait to draw her out of hiding. Anna, it seems, is the key architect of a top-secret NSA program that gathers the personal secrets of Americaβs most influential leaders. Secrets so damaging that North Korea and China will stop at nothing to get them. Publishers Weekly said, βReaders will want to see more of the talented Jim Brodie,β and The Spy Across the Table is an edge-of-your-seat thriller in Barry Lancetβs wildly popular and highly acclaimed series.
