When a mysterious relic is stolen from a Madrid museum, people are
dying to discover its secrets. Literally. U.S. Treasury agent
Alexandra LaDuca returns from Conspiracy in Kiev to track down the
stolen artwork, a small carving called The Pieta of Malta. It seems
to be a simple assignment, but nothing about this job is simple, as
the mysteries and legends surrounding the relic become increasingly
complex with claims of supernatural power. As aggressive,
relentless, and stubborn as ever, Alex crisscrosses Europe through
a web of intrigue, danger, and betrayal, joined by a polished,
mysterious new partner. With echoes of classic detective and
suspense fiction from The Maltese Falcon to The Da Vinci Code,
Midnight in Madrid takes the reader on a nonstop spellbinding chase
through a modern world of terrorists, art thieves, and cold-blooded
killers."
A shrewd investigator and an expert marksman, Special Agent
Alexandra LaDuca can handle any case the FBI gives her. Or can she?
While on loan from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alex is
tapped to accompany a Secret Service team during an American
Presidential visit to Ukraine. Her assignment: to keep personal
watch over Yuri Federov, the most charming and most notorious
gangster in the region. Against her better judgment---and fighting
a feeling that she s being manipulated---she leaves for Ukraine.
But there are more parts to this dangerous mission than anyone
suspects, and connecting the dots takes Alex across three
continents and through some life-altering discoveries about
herself, her work, her faith, and her future. Conspiracy in
Kiev---from the first double-cross to the stunning final pages---is
the kind of solid, fast-paced espionage thriller only Noel Hynd can
write. For those who have never read Noel Hynd, this first book in
The Russian Trilogy is the perfect place to start."
It is early 1950, the midpoint of the Twentieth Century. Joe
McCarthy is cranking up his demagoguery and Joseph Stalin had
intensified the cold war. In Washington, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI is
fighting a turf war with the newly founded Central Intelligence
Agency. Harry Truman is in the White House, trying to keep a lid on
domestic and foreign politics, but the crises never stop. It should
be a time of peace and prosperity in America, but it is anything
but. FBI agent Thomas Buchanan is assigned to investigate the
father of a former fiancee, Ann Garrett, who dumped Buchanan while
he was away to World War Two. And suddenly Buchanan finds himself
on a worldwide search for both an active Soviet spy and the only
woman he ever loved. In the process, he crosses paths with Hoover,
Truman, Soviet moles and assassins, an opium kingpin from China,
and a brigade of lowlife from the American film community. Truman's
Spy is a classic cold war story of espionage and betrayal, love and
regret, patriots and traitors. This is the revised and updated 2013
edition of Noel Hynd's follow-up to Flowers From Berlin. The story
is big, a sprawling intricate tale of espionage, from post-war Rome
and Moscow to New York, Philadelphia and Hollywood, filled with the
characters, mores and attitudes of the day. And at its heart: the
most crucial military secret of the decade. "Noel Hynd knows the
ins and outs of Washington's agencies, public and private." -
Publishers Weekly "A notch above the Ludums and Clancys of the
