Can they do that effectively when the interagency animosity between them is so evident? But now his bodyguard is dead, and the prince is hiding another agenda that seems likely to get him and his sisters killed.įBI Special Agent Kord Davison and CIA Agent Monica Alden are assigned to a special task force to keep Prince Omar safe.
Seeking cancer treatment in the United States for his mother should have been uneventful for Prince Omar bin Talal. The romance needed a bit more transition between “wary” and “kissing,” but the suspense is flawlessly crafted and engaging.
Faith plays an important role and is integrated naturally into the plot, although a conversion feels somewhat abrupt. The tension between the Saudi and American characters is handled respectfully, focusing on the common ground without apology for the differences. Readers can count on being glued to the pages late into the night-as “just one more chapter” turns into “can’t stop now.” Mills does an excellent job crafting Monica as a strong heroine with a heart (an excellent counterpart to Kord’s more jaded side), as well as an equal (if not stronger) investigative partner. Compelling characters and a riveting plot that fits seamlessly with current events make this novel impossible to put down.
In this third book in Mills’ action-packed FBI Task Force series, the stakes are higher than ever. But who would be willing to commit high treason, and can Kord and Monica stop them in time? Worse yet, the would-be assassin always seems to be one step ahead of them, implicating someone close to the prince-or the investigation. Plans that could easily incite a number of suspects both in the US and in countries hostile to Saudi Arabia. Kord and Monica must quickly put aside interagency squabbles, however, when they learn the prince has additional motives for his visit-plans to promote stronger ties with the US and encourage economic growth and westernization in his own country. FBI Special Agent Kord Davidson is the lead on the prince’s protective detail because of their long-standing friendship, but he’s surprised-and none too happy-when the CIA brings one of their operatives, Monica Alden, in on the task force after the assassination attempt. When Saudi Prince Omar bin Talal visits Houston to seek cancer treatment for his mother, an attempt on his life puts all agencies on high alert.
