Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. 56863 Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca ("Alex") is on loan from the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury, and is "tapped to accompany a Secret Service team during an American Presidential visit to Ukraine". Her specific assignment is to keep a close eye on Yuri Federov, a charming and notorious gangster in the area. But all is not as it seems and connecting the dots will take Alex through many dangers, heartache and disbelief. She will even question her faith. This was labeled a "fast-paced espionage thriller" and I believe it lived up to that description. There was a lot of attention to detail and background as one reads through this book. And trying to keep up with who the "bad guys" are versus the "good guys", keeps your mind thinking throughout the story. Conspiracy in Kiev is the first in a series of which I already read (and enjoyed) the second book. I didn't like this one quite as much - the characters were a bit stilted, the religious aspects (this is Christian fiction) a bit more pronounced and some of the plot strained even my ability to suspend disbelief. Book 2 was better. But lots of action and a pretty good story. I have to admit I wasn't ever loving this book. Some of the prejudices that are apparent in the book (although supposedly belonging to the characters not the author) made my jaw drop. Additionally, the main character is just too unbelievable, she's BEYOND perfect in practically every way (Mary Poppins isn't this good). When the author decided that she could hear the signal put out by the bug in her apartment (which accordingly could only be heard by animals) I finally gave it up; I couldn't take anymore.

A shrewd investigator and an expert marksman, Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca can handle any case the FBI gives her. Or can she? While on loan from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alex is tapped to accompany a Secret Service team during an American Presidential visit to Ukraine. Her assignment: to keep personal watch over Yuri Federov, the most charming and most notorious gangster in the region. Against her better judgment--and fighting a feeling that she's being manipulated--she leaves for Ukraine. But there are more parts to this dangerous mission than anyone suspects, and connecting the dots takes Alex across three continents and through some life-altering discoveries about herself, her work, her faith, and her future. Conspiracy in Kiev--from the first double-cross to the stunning final pages--is the kind of solid, fast-paced espionage thriller only Noel Hynd can write. For those who have never read Noel Hynd, this first book in The Russian Trilogy is the perfect place to start. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
