This is a fast-moving adventure story of an executive on a business trip to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, who was induced-if not seduced-into covert U.S. government service for a one-time mission by an attractive female agent of the CIA. Andy Locke got a bit more than he bargained for after agreeing to a plan to act as a government courier at the behest of the lady’s authority. In pursuit of his business objectives and the CIA undertaking, almost incidental to his having disputes with a number of angry and incredibly unpleasant people-on the plus side-on his initial flight to Europe, he became involved with a beautiful Russian woman, an erstwhile A©migrA© named Samantha Hedleski, who became his companion for the balance of his journey and was destined to become his true love.
