Offered a way to help “save her country,” new civilian profiler
for the FBI Abby Cooper does not really want this opportunity, until she hears
all the details and learns that her boyfriend Dutch will also be involved.
She accepts the mission and begins some grueling training on self
defense, how to attack and how to stop an attack, basically taking “spy
lessons.” She also has to adopt a
disguise so that no one will know who she is or that she is psychic.
for the FBI Abby Cooper does not really want this opportunity, until she hears

She accepts the mission and begins some grueling training on self
defense, how to attack and how to stop an attack, basically taking “spy
lessons.” She also has to adopt a
disguise so that no one will know who she is or that she is psychic.
While she’s been learning to take care of herself, Dutch has been
involved in the case undercover as a buyer for a new technology. A
special military camera can detect people’s auras, just as Abby can do. However, the owners of this camera have, as
reference, the aura of every major political and military leader in the world.
This could lead to chaos in the wrong hands. Those currently in possession of the camera
have loaded it into a drone aircraft that can hover and when it finds the aura
of the target person, it can shoot poison darts that kill within minutes.

The new weapon is being auctioned off at a weekend extravaganza in
the Canadian wilderness where the men show off their muscles while their ladies
are gorgeous females dripping off their arms. Not literally but those are
the attitudes behind the formal wear worn in the evenings. The auction is held at one man’s estate which
is very difficult to reach, even by plane, and is defended on all sides, since
it occupies an island. Abby attends on the arm of a diplomat while Dutch
attends as a potential buyer. They are
not mated or paired together so they must work out a way to communicate without
anyone becoming suspicious. They must
stop the sale of this camera.

This adventure had more “meat” to it and more to follow with
identities and counter identities, pairing of couples together who really belonged
elsewhere. Escape from the mission is just about impossible, so things
can’t go wrong without dire consequences.
I very much enjoyed this very suspenseful episode in the lives of Abby
and Dutch. I found it very interesting to learn just how much training is
involved to become a “spy” with the espionage and counter espionage. Always one factor balancing a counter
measure. It really helped Abby see just
how valuable on a grander scale her own perceptions could be.

Elizabeth Michaels reads beautifully, reading each character as
distinct from others plus handling the foreign accents of all the foreign
buyers of this weapon quite well. Being the ninth book in the series she
has read, I have become very comfortable with her voice and her portrayals of the
main characters.

All in all, a suspenseful and dangerous episode in the life of
Abby Cooper, civilian profiler for the FBI and secret spy to save world leaders
and their countries.
