Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Barrie Mayer, a beautiful Washington literary agent, finds her trip to Budapest cut short — when her body turns up dead. But her best friend, Colette Cahill, a CIA agent, knows that Barrie was carrying something else in her briefcase, and she suspects the worst. When the Agency instructs her to investigate, Colette could lose her own life in the high-stakes search.... "Smooth...seductive." ASSOCIATED PRESS Review:"Margaret Truman's newest addition to her capital crime series thrillers fails to give the reader much inside information on the inner-workings of the 'Pickle Factory' or the CIA. When an undercover CIA agent's friend is murdered on a business trip, the agent investigates the death uncovering in the process a disillusioning trail involving covert CIA activities utilizing mind manipulation techniques. Although this novel would seem to be the work of a Washington insider, trivial descriptions of activities such as a taxi cab ride and preparations for an overseas flight supplant useful background information on the agency and the characters. Moreover, these descriptions coupled with the mechanical, lifeless sentences rob the novel of its suspense quality."
