"Alexandra James, devoted reporter for the New England Examiner, is attractive, exceptionally smart, an experienced high-end shoe shopper, and used to getting what she wants. When she is assigned to cover the death of a Harvard student doing his year abroad, the whirlwind investigation takes her to Cambridge, London, and then to Washington. The globe-trotting adventures suit her well, as Alex has always been able to talk her way into anywhere, sleep with anyone she fancies, and both out-drink and out-shop her demons. But when the circumstances surrounding the student's death point to something more nefarious than a suicide, Alex the hunter soon becomes Alex the hunted. And she must race to find a dangerous killer before she becomes the next victim"-- Provided by publisher.
"An intriguing thriller from a former NPR correspondent about a young reporter who must match wits with spies, assassins and a terrorist sleeper cell targeting the very heart of American power."-- Provided by publisher.

serious page turner! submitted by camelsamba on June 27, 2018, 9:07pm It's been a long time since I felt compelled to finish a book as quickly as I did this one. I'm sure there are holes in the plot, but I enjoyed it anyway. Alexandra James is no Mrs Pollifax, but this fast-paced story is quite fun to read.
