This book takes the reader on a world tour of adventure, angst, and betrayal. Elaine is a brilliant, talented young woman who devotes her life to extracting revenge for her father, who sacrificed his life to give her a better one. Her plans lead her through the Secret Service training ground, where she makes a valuable contact in the Treasury Department. This contact may be her salvation when her new posting in Bulgaria brings her into contact with a treasonous agent who toys with her affections and draws her into his schemes. The story, part of a series, ends on a big cliffhanger.
I found myself drawn into the story quickly as this young woman, overcomes one obstacle after another in her quest for revenge, success, and love. I would recommend this book, and this series, to anyone who enjoys reading of strong heroines and intrigue.

Old fans and new of the famous detective can enjoy this surprisingly refreshing spoof of classic Sherlock Holmes stories. Denning takes the iconic characters and places them in an entirely new context-what if Watson was the deductive genius? What if Sherlock was actually a possessed by not one, but multiple demons? What if, instead of murderers, the duo actually hunted supernatural villains? With every new story in this page-turner, more surprising secrets are revealed, right up until the dramatic climax. Denning’s characterizations of Watson, Holmes, Mrs. Hudson, Lestrade, and the rest are as brilliant as they are hilarious. I can’t wait for the sequel!
