Opals and Outrage

I sat up in bed, poised for flight, my heart pounded in terror. I stared about the darkened room, searching for some familiar shape, some identifying smell or sound. Strange bed. Strange room. Awakened from a deep, unsettled sleep by a strange noise, which repeated, frighteningly close. On the other side of the bed, the clock crashed to the floor. Someone stumbled against the nightstand in the dark. He would come around the bed, find me paralyzed with fear, an finish the job he'd been paid a million dollars to do. Kill me.

For Bart and Allison Allen, a vacation is just what the doctor ordered. . . literally. As top-secret agents in the anti-terrorist organization Anastasia, this newly married couple has battled every imaginable plot designed to undermine the American way of life, and they need some time off.

But with a harried phone call, the vacation is over. Bart and Allison learn that Islamic fundamentalists are in the States. . . and they aren't here to see the sights.

So, buckle up, sit back, and hold your breath, because Opals and Outrage is a fast-paced, page-turning thriller that will leave you gasping.
