Fisher Braun, a covert operative with the Special Activities Division of the CIA based in London, never expected his world to explode—literally. Persons unknown blew open the door to his off-the-books home; his boyfriend Zachary Allen is missing from the home they shared; and he was followed by his partner Nathan March, who isn't surprised to discover that Fisher is gay. When a ransom note is found demanding Fisher in exchange for Zach, it seems Zach has been hiding secrets from Fisher, too. Zach is even deeper undercover than Fisher, though both work for the CIA. Fisher started out as an assignment, but Zach's feelings changed over time, and when Fisher's cover is burned, Zach refuses to let him fall victim to the criminals he is investigating. But saving Fisher may burn Zach's cover, and neither may make it out alive.
VERDICT Dimon's new covert series starts with a bang. The titles play off those of popular thrillers, which will hook readers and leave them anxious for the sequel, The Talented Mr. Rivers (Sept. 2016). Dimon, a RITA-finalist for Facing Fire, provides another winner for libraries looking to add more romantic suspense, especially where S.E. Jakes and Josh Lanyon are popular.
