Book Review
A fast paced thriller that takes you from Harvard University, to Cambridge University, London and to Washington D.C. Alexandra James is a young Boston reporter for the New England Chronicle, who is assigned to cover the death of the son of a prominent, powerful man from Washington. Her instincts tell her that the pursuit of this story might result in her byline on a front page scoop.
She chases leads that bring her to Cambridge, England. Alex soon begins to realize that the death of Thom Carlyle, her original story, is just the tip of the iceberg. Through persistent investigative reporting, she unwittingly discovers a nuclear terrorist network and begins to realize that the murder of Thom Carlyle might actually have been a cover-up for a Washington conspiracy. Spies, assassins and terrorists are soon on her trail and they are as intent on finding Alex as she is at finding answers.
The author has created a great character in Alexandra James. Alex is presented to us initially as the fearless nothing left to lose type. Through great storytelling we are witness to Alex’s vulnerabilities and how they have shaped her. The cross that she has to bear is in the end what gives her the strength to survive.

I am looking forward to more books by Mary Louise Keller. I hope they will include Alexandra James as a character because there is more to her story and I want to hear it.
