Grace Flint has international money launderer Karl Grober almost within her grasp when a young female agent she trained dies in the undercover operation that was supposed to bring Grober to justice. Someone gave Ruth Apple up to Grober, but Flint, second-in-command of the Financial Strike Force, can't bring herself to accept what the evidence indicates; that Ruth Apple was betrayed by Flint's own husband. Her marriage a sham, her career in shreds, the plucky Brit who made her debut in Eddy's well-received first thriller (Flint) vows to track Ben Gates down and make him pay for Ruth's death. But before she can, the traitor she loved attacks a target even closer to home. Flint's Law is a tightly plotted, smartly paced novel with an ending that's just ambiguous enough to whet readers' appetites for Flint's next outing. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Grace Flint: The best undercover cop in the business and - since plastic surgeons re-built her shattered face - probably the most beautiful. Now Flint has a new career running operations, and she's running headlong into trouble. Operation Pentecost: An elaborate sting designed by Flint to trap Karl Kremer, former East German spy turned financial manipulator. But Pentecost has become a snare for Flint's undercover agents. One agent is already dead, and the evidence of treachery is mounting. Mandrake: MI6 codename for the traitor close enough to Flint to anticipate her every move. Who is Mandrake and who in the US government is determined to protect him? In Paul Eddy's stunning second novel Grace Flint is back in the firing line, tougher, bolder (and in more trouble) than before. This time she finds her own closest relationships, her own deepest emotions, under the spotlight. And what she finds there could destroy her. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Flint is Grace Flint and she is spunky, rebellious, and a little unethical as an undercover agent. Like the opening to Flint, Flint's Law opens with another undercover sting operation gone wrong. Only this time someone else is paying the price for the blunder and to all concerned, it's Grace's fault. The failed sting leads everyone to believe there is a leak and somehow Grace is involved. In order to clear her name, keep her job, and seek revenge, Grace must put aside any trust she had for those in her inner circle. Anyone and everyone are suspect. As usual Eddy takes us on a multi-continent journey. As usual the plot is complicated (with over 30 different characters mentioned by name it is hard to keep them all straight). As usual, Grace compels us to keep reading to find out what happens next.
Warning! This book produces more questions than it does answers. Consider this: When we leave Grace in Flint's Law Grace knows she is pregnant, her arch enemy has gotten away (again), and she has left her husband for dead somewhere, floating, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. What will Grace do about the baby? Her lifestyle hardly allows for motherhood and let's face it, Grace isn't all that nurturing. What will become of Grace's elusive enemy? Will he haunt her for the rest of her life? And, what of that sea-stranded husband? No one saw him drown so did he really die? Finally, the biggest mystery of all, carried over from Flint - who killed Grace's mom? Guess I'll have to read Flint's Code to find out! ( )
