This riveting up-to-the-second thriller involves
international conspiracy, terror in the heartland and
romantic intrigue. For Samantha Reid, deputy director for
Homeland Security, gas-related events are close to home,
figuratively and literally. Therefore, exploding natural
gas pipelines invite her close scrutiny. She becomes
immediately involved, despite less-than-concerned attitudes
from her superiors, particularly those more concerned about
camera time than real issues. However, Samantha Reid has
multiple connections that allow her to keep her own ear to
the ground, as well as ignite some questions in the right
ears of others.
Reconnecting with Tripp Adams, a former schoolmate
primarily admired from afar but now the vice president of
the company that owns the pipelines being sabotaged, would
seem to be an extra perk. That emotional, as well as
professional, connection allows Samantha to get involved
when his plans go horribly awry on the way to some
assumedly mundane business conferences.
FINAL FINESSE is a topical thriller that ties various
plotlines together into one cohesive and fascinating novel.
Many readers, whether action or romance buffs, can find an
entry point into the story. However, one should be warned:
once you pick up this book, make sure you are comfortably
ensconced with a drink, snacks and a warm animal at hand
because you won't want to put it down until the last page.
Samantha Reid, the White House Deputy Director for
Homeland Security, deals with national security threats on
a daily basis. When a natural-gas pipeline explodes in
America’s heartland, she senses pending disaster and tries
to convince reluctant officials to take
action.
After several more explosions, Samantha
teams up with Tripp Adams, Vice President of GeoGlobal Oil
& Gas, owner of the pipelines, to investigate.
As
they race to solve the mystery of the explosions and
determine the motives of the shadowy group behind the
havoc, Samantha and Tripp spend days . . . and
nights . . . together, growing ever closer. Then Tripp is
sent on a business trip to South America---and
disappears.
Now Samantha must deal with political
intrigue at the highest levels, finesse international
plots, and break all the White House rules as she races to
find Tripp and stop the team of foreign agents before they
carry out their final deadly scheme.
