A Case of Integrity by Stella Marie Alden

Things are not always what they seem… Socrates
Don’t judge an agent by her cover… Dean Brennan
Is she a bodyguard, a Fed, or a domestic terrorist?
While on vacation, enjoying a lantern tour, a gorgeous woman loses track of her teenage sister. As a cop, I can’t stop my internal boy scout from springing into action and I aid in her search.
My reward? She points her Glock at me and tells me to get lost.
Sensing a crime, I follow them home. A man attacks, they flee, and if I hadn’t intervened, they would’ve been mowed down by a group of armed terrorists.
And the thanks I get? More lies.
You’d think I’d have the brains to leave off and finish my vacation in peace, but hey, puzzles, especially beautiful ones, excite me.
One dead FBI agent later, I’m the run with the primary suspect and when I suggest she turn herself in, she reads me into her mission.
She’s to stop the sale of three unstable nuclear weapons, at all costs.
