<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i><b>The Moscow Affair</i> is a thoroughly entertaining and unforgettable thriller punctuated by smart dialog, richly crafted scenes, and a topical plot. -Dave Edlund, <i>USA Today</i> bestselling author of <i>Valiant Savage</i></b> <p/>In this fast-paced mystery, P.I. Nicole Graves agrees to an unusual, short-term assignment working for MI6 in Russia. It sounds straight-forward, even pleasant: a two-week luxury riverboat cruise on the Volga, observing a group of fellow passengers and filing a daily report on their activities. It's simple enough, except for one caveat: No matter what these people do, she's to tell her handler at MI6--no one else, especially not the Russian police. When one of the riverboat passengers winds up dead, Nicole realizes this assignment was anything but straightforward. <p/>Soon, Nicole is immersed in a high-stakes game of murder and espionage where trusting a stranger can be as deadly as a bullet.? <p/>Nicole Graves is the best fictional sleuth to come down the pike since Sue Grafton's <i>Kinsey Millhone</i>. -Laura Levine, bestselling author of the <i>Jaine Austen Mysteries</i> <p/><i>The Nicole Graves Mysteries</i> have been compared to the mysteries of Mary Higgins Clark and praised for contributing to the women-driven mystery field with panache (<i>Foreword Reviews</i>) as well as for their hold-onto-the-bar roller coaster plots (<i>RT Book Reviews</i>). <p/><i>Kirkus Reviews</i> concluded, Boyarsky's weightless complications expertly combine menace with bling, making the heroine's adventures both nightmarish and dreamy. And <i>Foreword Reviews</i> has fallen for the tough and likable protagonist Nicole Graves while <i>Midwest Book Review</i> praises the exquisite tension throughout the plot.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>The Moscow Affair </i>is a thoroughly entertaining and unforgettable thriller punctuated by smart dialog, richly crafted scenes, and a topical plot.
