SECRET ASSET

British intelligence officer Liz Carlyle's return to duty starts off at a fast pace when she's alerted that a terrorist cell is centered around a local bookstore. As evidence of an impending attack unfolds, she's surprised to be taken off the task force and diverted to what appears to be an unrelated search for a mole at the agency. Rosalyn Landor's narration is fast-paced, even, and suspenseful. She draws out the contrast between day-to-day concerns and the high-stakes effort to gather information needed to prevent the attack. She gives away nothing of the ultimate relationships between the characters, thereby enhancing this compelling mystery. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
