A sexy, high-stakes thriller in which Malko Linge must choose between his sense of duty and his sense of honor.
 
At a benefit dinner in Monaco, Austrian playboy and CIA freelancer Malko Linge meets an intriguing woman, Zhanna Khrenkov, who has an unusual proposal. She will disclose everything she knows about her husband Alexei’s business, provided Malko kills Alexei’s beautiful, young British mistress. Appalled, he refuses, but then Zhanna reveals that her husband runs a ring of Russian sleeper spies operating in the United States. Naturally, Malko’s CIA handlers would love to have this information, but he feels uncomfortable killing anyone in cold blood—especially a beautiful woman.
 
Traveling from Vienna to London to Moscow and back, aided by his former CIA handler and sometime-lover Gwyneth Robertson, Malko strives to avoid the crosshairs of deadly assassins and—almost as dangerous—jealous lovers.

      If listening to an espionage novel with fast-paced action, globe- hopping settings, and explicit sex is what you're after, the new translations of the Malko Linge novels should provide plenty of enjoyment. French author de Villiers's internationally popular series features Austrian aristocrat Linge, a spy who freelances for the CIA to finance his lifestyle. Nicholas Guy Smith's British accent brings a continental flair to his substantial narration as Linge strives to expose an undercover Russian spy ring known as the Swallows, which is infiltrating the United States. Smith shifts between a multitude of accents with ease, uses only a slight shift in timbre for gender changes, and sets a pace well suited to the quick-moving storyline set against a backdrop of current geopolitical tensions.
