The Black Sea
Black Mary Press, 2011
Journalist Kate Allen knows she is good at her job, but fears she'll never live up to her true potential while she stays in her job at a women's magazine in Philadelphia. When she interviews Rene Socarov, the dashing French actor, she has no idea that her dreams will be realized through a sudden and shocking turn of events. Armed only with Rene's insistence that she "find Andreas", Kate boards a flight to Paris, starting a fast-paced race against time. Andreas seems to have something to hide. And the charming English diplomat she falls for may not be who he seems. With Rene's ominous last words still ringing in her ears, she needs to find answers of her own. Who's behind a series of mysterious deaths in the Socarov family? Why is her every move tracked by ex-KGB mafia? And where can she find the last remaining member of the Socarov family, Rene's brother Vladimir? Fast-paced thriller and high stakes romance collide in this frantic chase across Europe. Can Kate Allen solve the mystery before it's too late?
"Kate is the girl we all dream of loving: compelling ... and compelled by her heart in a driving tale that's both an adventure and a profound snapshot of who we all are. She's the new Bond, only better because she's a woman, with all the intelligence a female freshly brings to the table. The stale and shop-worn should read at their own risk; the young – eat your hearts out! This is who you want to be ... or be lucky enough to love." David Franzoni, Academy award-winning producer/author of Gladiator
