<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Cold spies. Cold dames. Cold love. Cold War. The Hungarian is a stylish and sexy thriller that reads like John le Carre and feels like Diana Gabaldon!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>While vacationing in Greece in 1956, Lily Tassos, the hard-partying daughter of a powerful arms dealer, has a sudden change in plans.<br /> <br /> After her sometime boyfriend --a CIA agent-- is murdered before her eyes, she finds herself holding a ticket to Moscow and a mysterious metal card. A far cry from her usual pairing of a Faulkner novel and bottle (or two) of white Bordeaux.<br /> <br /> Alone and haunted by her lover's death, apolitical Lily resolves to complete his mission and find out who killed him.<br /> <br /> Masquerading as a gung-ho member of the American Communist Party, she travels to Moscow, where she is contacted by Pasha Tarkhan. Brutal, yet charismatic, Tarkhan is both a high-ranking Soviet official and CIA asset, not to mention a covert supporter of the Russian Spiritual Underground. This alliance of self-styled "deists" have rejected the secular Soviet state and vowed to bring it down by means of faith, prayer...and blood.<br /> <br /> Grinding her old life beneath the heel of her Dior stiletto, Lily puts her new one on the line, surrendering to fate, love and, for once, events bigger than herself.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Here's what readers are saying about The Hungarian: </p><p>"I thoroughly enjoyed this intense, fast paced "historical thriller" that surely introduces one of the most twisted, sadistic, brutal, unforgettable hitmen I've ever read about! Be prepared to leave your light on!"</p><p>"Great story! Fast paced, full of suspense, great characters."</p><p>"Not easy to put down."</p><p>"Absolutely brilliant, and readers will never regret getting it. I think it's one of the very best of its genre that I've ever read."</p><p>"Weighty, philosophical, poetic, with great knowledge of the literature and history of the Soviet Bloc."</p><p>"The heroine is fantastic and the story fast paced with lots of action."</p><p>"History and intrigue. Couldn't put it down."</p><p>"One tense moment after another. Read this when you don't have things you have to do. You won't want to put this book down."</p><p>"Thrillers just don't come better than this."</p><p>"If Quentin Tarantino were to put together a novel from Ian Fleming and John Le Carre source material, it would read a lot like 'The Hungarian'."</p><p>"Great characters, fast paced, breathtaking encounters with East meets West."</p><p>"A frolicking romp across an Eastern European, Russian and European landscape that introduces a motley crew of spies and would-be agents to an irreverent mockery of Soviet times."</p><p>"For anyone looking for a gripping, exciting story this should fit the bill."</p><br>
