First sentence: From thirty-eight thousand feet and ten miles out, southern Florida's coastal lights appeared as a line of twinkling jewels that broadened and transmuted into a steady glow as landfall drew nearer.
Description: Young Haitian professor Shelby Cervosier agrees to an espionage mission on behalf of the American government in exchange for political asylum in the U.S.  When the mission is bungled, the agent who recruited her hires free-lance assassins to kill her and cover the trail.  Captured by one assassin and closely tracked by another, Shelby learns that everything has a price, and The Price of Sanctuary may be too high to pay.
