She graduated with a degree in Ancient History and Egyptology and spent seven months as a development worker in Nepal. On her return to Britain she joined the civil service, where she worked for 17 years on topics ranging from housing support to flooding. She hung up her bowler hat when she discovered that she much preferred writing about psychotic killers to Ministerial speeches. Lies, manipulation, and murder. They're everyday occurrences in the world of espionage and terrorism. And now Falcon Spitzer is forced to work with CIA weapons expert Jeff Kreger to stop the development of an air transportation weapon before it can be marketed to terrorists. Together they possess the expertise to discover the identity of and to defeat their common enemy. But their mutual dislike and mistrust exacerbate their personal conflict, jeopardizing their mission. Meanwhile, a financier of weapons development and a master manipulator of nations as well as of individuals, Mozzarian instigates conflict to increase his weapons sales. His unlimited financial and technical resources, and his professional contacts throughout the world enable him to lure Falcon and Kreger into a cleverly designed trap. A trap to have them destroy each other rather than assist them discover the weapon they seek. Falcon's obsession with killing Mozzarian and Kreger's resolute determination to sabotage Mozzarian's weapons facility plummets them both deeper into the trap, as Mozzarian dispassionately observes the two of them, seemingly unafraid. The stakes escalate as the dangerous dance continues. Death is imminent. But whose? Mozzarian's? Kreger's? Falcon's? How many will die before it ends? In tightly controlled writing, Cooper's vivid and demanding characters grab the readers and drag them into the dark and treacherous world of international espionage, where no one knows what to expect, and where everyone will be stunned by the surprise ending.
