"Q: ""What do you get when you cross Avon Ladies with Charlie's
Angels?"
"A: ""A world-class intelligence organization run by women who
"really "know their foundation."
When Nikki Lanier signs up as a cosmetics rep at Carrie Mae, it's
hardly her idea of a dream job. With a degree in linguistics and a
hard-core workout regimen, the twenty-six-year-old redhead once had
hopes for a real career. But unemployed and desperate to escape
life at home with her nagging mother, she'll try anything--even
selling makeup to housewives. Soon, Nikki learns that the powder
and lipstick are simply cover-up for the Carrie Mae Foundation: a
secret organization of international espionage and high-tech
mascara founded for the purpose of "helping women everywhere."
Whisked off to Thailand with the legendary Carrie Mae agent Val
Robinson, Nikki is soon in over her head. Between investigating the
abduction of a human rights activist, tracking down a murderous
arms dealer, keeping up with her wildly dangerous new partner, and
occasionally trying to date a hunk who may or may not be CIA, Nikki
has to use all the courage and cosmetic technology she's got to
bring down the bad guys and get out alive.
With the support of the colorful Carrie Mae crew, Nikki will
overcome even the most harrowing obstacles--including incessant
phone calls from her mother--or die trying.
