Set in Australia, Against the Clock: The Clock is Ticking is a well-crafted, action-packed spy-thriller (and I do mean packed will loads of action scenes)with a hard-edged heroine (Shirin).Shirin appears to be a woman who exudes all the characteristics of beauty, sex appeal, and demureness. However, underneath she is a kick-ass action heroine with lethal intentions who will stop at nothing to avenge her husband's death.Shirin is one of the most mysterious female characters I have read in a long time. She keeps the reader at the edge of their seat and as the story unfolds, at a fast, page turning pace, questions arise to keep the reader rooted to the story: Who is she working for? What will she do next? Who is her next target?The story is gripping, intriguing, fast paced, with highly passionate, erotic sex scenes.The protagonists and antagonists (assassins, psychopaths) are all well developed and add to the potent and captivating action.This book will give readers who love intrigue and a plot filled with an abundance of suspense, a thrilling ride, as you travel this extraordinary heart-pounding, adrenalin filled journey with Shirin and the rest of the characters.Warning: Some of the violent scenes are graphic.
