Title: Circle Of Deception (Intrique, No 97)
First published: August 1, 1988
Description: Deception was the name of the game

Museum curator Nora Castle was in Tokyo on business, putting her grief over her lover Win Eliot's death behind her. She was there to negotiate the sale of a rare jade figurine with the prime minister of Janan. But then Nora came between her host and an assassin's bullet and her working holiday took a terrifying turn.

The CIA wanted her help, a master assassin wanted her dead, and when Harry Bishop arrived on the scene, Nora knew her troubles were only beginning. Harry was confident, competent and devastatingly handsome--the partner of any novice spy's dreams--but Nora knew that Harry had betrayed her once and, whatever the cost, she couldn't let it happen again.
