About this title

Synopsis

It’s an old game: spy versus spy.

This was supposed to be a simple information exchange, but retired U.N. spy Mai Fisher finds herself in a cab with a man possibly hired by a Balkan warlord to kidnap her. Her escape leaves her wet, cold, and determined to find out who burned her.

After almost 40 years as a spy for the U.N. Intelligence Directorate, Alexei Bukharin wants a calmer life with his wife, Mai Fisher, and to finish raising his college-student granddaughter Natalia. However, a Russian spy, affected by something in Alexei’s past, has other plans for them—and especially for Natalia.

Mai and Alexei put aside retirement to find out who betrayed Mai and who is interested in Natalia. Along the way, they uncover a Russian mole in the FBI and the reason behind Russian intelligence’s targeting of Natalia—a decision Alexei made decades ago about his son’s future.

Past and present collide. Fathers and sons remember. Will retribution and revenge prevail?

About the Author

P. A. Duncan is a retired bureaucrat but one with an overactive imagination-at least that's what everyone has told her since she first started making up stories in elementary school prompted by her weekly list of spelling words. A commercial pilot and former FAA safety official, she lives and writes in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. A graduate of Madison College (now James Madison University), she has degrees in history and political science. Politics and history manage to work their way into her writing. She is president of the Virginia Writers Club, one of the oldest writer organizations in the country. Her fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies. When not writing, reading, reviewing books, singing in a UU choir, watching the Yankees, or cheering on Dale Earnhardt, Jr., she delights in spoiling her grandchildren.
