Genre: Thriller
Description:
“In the Cold War, you knew who your friends and enemies were. In war
today, there’s no difference.
Just when former assassin Leine Basso thinks she’s free from the
business of murder and deception, a desperate call from a friend drags her back
into the dark world of espionage and arms dealers.
Leine uncovers information that implicates a well-known Russian
businessman in a horrendous deception that affects national security and could
have global repercussions. It’s up to the former assassin to persuade the
powers that be to ignore the obvious and trust her, or disregard the
information and bring the world to the brink of a devastating war. Can she make
it in time to warn them before The Last
Deception?”
Author:
“DV Berkom is the USA Today best-selling author of two action-packed
thriller series featuring strong female leads: Leine Basso and Kate Jones. Her
love of creating resilient, kick-ass women characters stems from a lifelong
addiction to reading spy novels, mysteries, and thrillers, and longing to find
the female equivalent within those pages.”
Appraisal:
From book to book it’s hard to predict what kind of situation Leine
Basso is going to find herself involved in. That she’s going to acquit herself
well, dealing with whatever unexpected twists life throws at her, is the only
predictable part of Leine’s life. In this latest installment of the series,
Leine finds herself embroiled in a situation that, if it doesn’t go well, could
have serious repercussions for much of the world.
As with any good story of this type, action was fast-paced. The reader
is kept guessing at what’s going to happen next, and the tension is high. If
you’re a thriller reader, especially if you like espionage or spy thrillers, The Last Deception is your kind of book.
