Reconnecting with Tripp Adams, a former schoolmate primarily admired from afar but now the vice president of the company that owns the pipelines being sabotaged, would seem to be an extra perk. That emotional, as well as professional, connection allows Samantha to get involved when his plans go horribly awry on the way to some assumedly mundane business conferences.
FINAL FINESSE is a topical thriller that ties various plotlines together into one cohesive and fascinating novel. Many readers, whether action or romance buffs, can find an entry point into the story. However, one should be warned: once you pick up this book, make sure you are comfortably ensconced with a drink, snacks and a warm animal at hand because you won't want to put it down until the last page.
Book Summary
Samantha Reid, the White House Deputy Director for
Homeland Security, deals with national security threats on
a daily basis. When a natural-gas pipeline explodes in
America’s heartland, she senses pending disaster and tries
to convince reluctant officials to take
action.
After several more explosions, Samantha
teams up with Tripp Adams, Vice President of GeoGlobal Oil
& Gas, owner of the pipelines, to investigate.
As
they race to solve the mystery of the explosions and
determine the motives of the shadowy group behind the
havoc, Samantha and Tripp spend days . . . and
nights . . . together, growing ever closer. Then Tripp is
sent on a business trip to South America---and
disappears.
Now Samantha must deal with political
intrigue at the highest levels, finesse international
plots, and break all the White House rules as she races to
find Tripp and stop the team of foreign agents before they
carry out their final deadly scheme.
