Blurb:-IT'S THE CASE OF AMANDA'S LIFETIME, BUT SOLVING IT WILL REQUIRE HER TO BETRAY ANOTHER SPY-WHO JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE HER FATHER.

 SPYING IS THE FAMILY BUSINESS. Amanda Cole is a brilliant young CIA officer following in the footsteps of her father, who was a spy during the Cold War. It takes girl to succeed in this male-dominated world-but one hot summer day, when a Russian defector walks into her post, Amanda is given the ultimate chance to prove herself.

 The defector warns of the imminent assassination of a US senator. Though Amanda takes the warning seriously, her superiors don't. Twenty-four hours later, the senator is dead. And the assassination is just the beginning.

 Amanda races from Rome to London, from St. Petersburg to Helsinki, unravelling the international conspiracy. But as she gets closer and closer to the truth, a central question haunts her: Why was her father's name written down in the senator's notes?

My Review:-Amanda Cole is deputy station chief for CIA Rome burean.

Kath Frost CIA legend, the last of the 'Cold Warriors' at the age of seventy-three.

 Amanda is following in the footsteps of her father, who was a spy during the Cold War. After someone walking in and warning of a planned assassination of a US senator, including when, it's Amanda who get's the case. Could someone really be going to do this or is it a joke? Amanda feels like it's true and it's not long before that feeling is right, the senator is dead. Amanda needs to put all her skills she learnt over the years to work out just who is responsible. When she finds out someone that will change everything, Amanda has to decide what her next step is. What is she going to do?

 No spoilers fort his one, you need to read it. This is my first book by Anna Pitoniak but it won't be my last.  Once I started I didn't want to put in down in case I missed something. The book as everything, conspiracies, murder, traitors, I feel like Pitoniak did a lot of research into this book.
