No good deed goes unpunished, and the super-killer whose life Tracie once spared wants Tracie to suffer for humiliatingly besting him. He strikes hard, before Tracie figures out his intentions, and the contest begins with her being emotionally off-kilter. My favorite scene is the one where Tracie deals with a likeable KGB agent sent by the super-killer to keep tabs on her. The unexpected outcome of that encounter reveals the person Tracie has become. A fast read, and five-star entertainment.
The Soviet Assassin is a fabulous spy thriller with a bad-ass red-haired CIA covert agent that just may be my newest heroine. There’s so much accuracy in the details, it feels as if you’re there. This is a transcontinental nonstop action espionage thriller with so many layers. I definitely think this is a 5-star must read!
After reading 7 of The Tracie Tanner series by Allan Leverone, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed each book! If you like suspense wrapped around historical places and information, you must read these books. I was able to look up factual information on each setting. They are great reads!!
Great premise. Good story line. Not predictable. Continuing characters in this series are not concrete cutouts…they respond to difficult situations and then change as human beings would. Looking forward to the next book.
