"a fast-paced romantic suspense"
In Cate Noble's explosive new CIA thriller, we're
introduced to sexy operative Dante Johnson. Having been
captured and tortured in Thailand for the last 18 months,
Dante is assumed dead by everyone who knows him. Only
after a tip from a Thai native to one of Dante's old CIA
buddies is Dante finally rescued from the cesspool prison
to which he's been confined. Dante blames the near-fatal
ambush on fellow CIA operative -- and ex-lover, Catalina
Dion. Convinced that Cat had set up ambush the that
resulted in his imprisonment, Dante wants nothing more than
to exact his vengeance on her. Of course, taking his
revenge on Cat is hard to do when she's presumed to be
dead. Deciding to renew his body and spirit, Dante heads
to the Keys to live on his boat and get his life back
together. But when Dante passes a pay phone that is in the
marina, he can't help but smell the unmistakable perfume
that Cat used to wear. Was Cat still alive? If so, had
she found Dante in order to finish the job she started in
Thailand? Dante immediately sets out on a trail determined
to find Cat at once. Cat is -- was -- one of the best contract agents around, but
for the last 18 months she's been on the run. Having
learned that her lover is dead, Cat is devastated. She
goes into hiding, but comes out in an attempt to find out
what truly happened to Dante. Cat is kidnapped and
tortured by a Russian scientist who seeks his own revenge
on Cat because he blames her for the death of his beloved
wife and child. Eventually Cat escapes and goes into
hiding. Not only does Cat end up with a sadistic madman
after her, but also a vengeful ex-lover. When Dante
finally catches up with Cat, she is forced to ask for his
help because there is a far more important person's life at
stake than just her own. Dead Right is the first of a new contemporary
romantic suspense series from Cate Noble. Filled with
action galore, black ops, and intrigue, Dead Right
is a fast-paced romantic suspense that keeps readers firmly
engrossed throughout the story.
