With everything I've been through in the past 2 years (here in 2022), it is interesting to read a book about life working in an American Embassy in Austria during 1989, seeing all the political developments lining up through a personal story. Even more amazing that the story could be completed in so few pages!

Wow
It is a wonderful thriller and a brilliant page turner. Sammy's inquisitive nature, her boldness and the way she defended herself from a possible attack by the man sent by Staci are really commendable. It's a must read book.

As grad student, Sammy Strauss travels to Vienna for a intern job at the U.S. Embassy, she meets handsome Ansel Ernst-Weber on her flight. Both Sammy and Ansel are attracted to each other. And as they depart the airplane, Ansel makes it known to Sammy that he wants to get together with her.
Sammy soon finds out that Ansel is very mysterious and is keeping something from her. While this is going on, someone is following Sammy and she doesn’t know why.
This is a action packed book with so much suspense that makes this story so compelling. As the storyline evolves, you find that Sammy tries to figure things out herself but evidently she must get help.
Quite a enjoyable book with spy overtones and very intriguing !!
