Synopsis

Tracie Tanner works in the world's most dangerous hot-spots.
On the most high-stakes assignments.
And she works alone.

This mission should be easy, as these things go: smuggle a top-secret document out of the Soviet Union and deliver it to the White House.

But no sooner does Tracie escape East Germany than things begin to careen out of control. A shadowy group of Russian radicals will stop at nothing to prevent delivery of the mysterious document.

Soon Tracie is on the run with a civilian, suspecting a shocking conspiracy. With the clock ticking toward an assassination that would likely trigger World War III, Tracie Tanner knows she must complete her mission at any cost.

If she can only stay alive long enough to do so.

With non-stop action, plot twists you'll never see coming, and a tough, dedicated - but fallible and surprisingly relatable - heroine, PARALLAX VIEW will leave you breathless until the final shocking page.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It's spring, 1987, late in the Cold War, and CIA clandestine operations agent Tracie Tanner is tasked with what should be a relatively simple mission: deliver a secret communique from Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to U.S. President Ronald Reagan.

After smuggling the document out of East Germany, Tracie believes she is in the clear. She's wrong. A shadowy cabal is work, people who will stop at nothing to prevent the explosive information contained in the letter from reaching the White House.

Soon, Tanner is knee-deep in airplane crashes and murder, paired up with a young Maine air traffic controller and on the run for their lives, unsure who she can trust at CIA, but committed to completing her mission, no matter the cost...
