"Kelly's years as a political writer and intelligence correspondent covering wars, terrorism and nuclear powers have served her well, and she portrays James with authority in a smart, fun voice that will stir lust and envy among readers. The author leaves open a window on the final page that suggests a sequel, much to the reader's delight." (Publishers Weekly)“Kelly has mastered the mental geographies of the journalist, the terrorist, and the spy:  The competing ideals, the gritty reality, and the layers of wisdom or self-deception they employ in reconciling them.  You won’t put this down.” (Bob Grenier, former CIA Head of Counterterrorism and former CIA Station Chief in Pakistan)"Mary Louise Kelly blends the worlds she knows so well--Harvard, Cambridge, Washington, the news room and the American intelligence community--into a fast paced thriller that is hard to put down.  The atmosphere rings true on every page as she weaves a taut tale from a young man's apparent suicide to a terrorist attempt at the highest seat of American power." (Michael Hayden, former Director of the CIA)"In Mary Louise Kelly’s entertaining new novel, a smart, sexy reporter wanders into the midst of a truly scary terrorist plot.
