Wilderness of Mirrors - Softcover

She was the wild card in a game of international intrigue... Four years after battling the drugs that nearly destroyed her, Eva Cunningham is ready for vengeance. She’s rising from the dead to return to the game. Under deep cover for the Secret Intelligence Service, she’s using a diamond mine in Vietnam-and herself-as bait to entrap Robie Frazer, a ruthless international entrepreneur suspected of assisting China’s illegal trade in nuclear weapons. Camouflaged by wealth and respectability, Frazer is the drug lord whose narcotics enslaved Eva even as she infiltrated his vast Asian empire. Now she’s willing to pay any price to destroy him. Even if it means sleeping with the enemy... Eva, gorgeous, confident, and ruthless, challenges Frazer to invest in diamonds-and her. But shaken by the torrent of passions he unleashes, she’s driven to even greater risks as she walks the thin line between desire and deception, one step away from discovery-and certain death... -CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR LINDA DAVIES AND HER NOVELS- “Enough action, financial know-how and international hokey-pokey to satisfy any reader ... we get an idea of the coolness, daring and imagination that go into successful high-voltage trading involving hundreds of millions.” —The New York Times “Linda Davies pops her debut thriller into the microwave and brings it to a near-instant boil.... THIS BOOK’S A CLASS ACT.” —Glamour “Davies, herself a former merchant banker, does a terrific job of explaining the inner workings of foreign-exchange markets and of creating a sense of the supercharged atmosphere in which the traders do their deals.” —People “A STYLISH AND VERY CONTEMPORARY British thriller about international finance.... This first novel by young, gorgeous, etc., former banker Linda Davies feels about as real as a James Bond movie, but it satisfies in exactly the same flashy, fast-moving way.” —Mademoiselle “UTTERLY FASCINATING when it deals with the giddy, high-risk manipulations of foreign-exchange traders. —Entertainment Weekly “PULSE-PUSHING YARN ... Davies lobs a female dynamo into the mostly male bastions of international finance and the government agencies that stalk those who prey on the markets.... Her writing style is mellifluous, her understanding of high-stakes currency trading authoritative yet unobtrusive, and her action scenes snap—making this A FINANCIAL THRILLER WITH BULL, NOT BEAR, WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.” —Publishers Weekly “Davies captures the lure of the [foreign-exchange] game ... LOOK FOR THIS ONE TO BE BIG.” —USA Today “THIS GRIPPING READ reveals a flashy merchant class and a moral void—akin to an upholstered pit in a gambling casino ... the game of fast-track money deals is as much an aphrodisiac as power and forbidden sex in this financial thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews
