Special Agent Alexandra Martel #1
Perfect Shot by Steve Urszenyi is a very highly recommended, action packed thriller and the first book in a new series.
FBI Special Agent Alexandra Martel, a former decorated Army sniper and combat medic, is currently on loan to Interpol and in the Netherlands when she learns an old friend, Krysten, an MI5 officer, has been killed under mysterious circumstances in London. Once in London, Krysten left clues that only Alex can follow. It becomes clear that much more is going on and that Alex has a target on her back and there is a larger scheme developing. Along with CIA agent Caleb Copeland Alex is called to Turkey to recover a stolen nuclear bomb.
Action explodes through the Netherlands, London, Turkey, and
Paris. Alex is an intelligent, tough, tenacious woman and a good
character to feature in the first novel of a new series. Caleb is still a bit of an
enigma, but is clearly more than her equal. The two verbally spar,
but work well together when threatened, pursued, and the conflict
is intense.
The heart-stopping action, dangerous conflicts, espionage, and
skirmishes are the main purpose of this thriller and Perfect
Shot certainly delivers that globally. All this action makes
for an un-put-downable thriller from start to finish. If
undercover, global geopolitical action grabs your attention, then
Perfect Shot will deliver.
