"McGerr's Selena Mead stories were generally short stories written for magazines, but this one is a full-length novel, taking place early enough after the death of her secret agent husband for her emotions to have not yet healed. A normal newscast about a young girl who fell from a bridge and is now in a coma is revealed to be far more sinister and mysterious. The girl was employed in a local Congressman's office, and in her hand was a scrap of paper that was highly classified. Was she trafficking in state secrets? Who pushed her off the bridge? The scrap of paper was inside a torn envelope with a Senator's name on it-- a Senator who's being considered as a future running mate. If he's treasonous, he needs to be stopped before he ever becomes Vice Presidential material. but if he's innocent, Agency Q can't derail his rising career. Selena Mead is tapped to get close enough to him to find out. Along the way, she takes it upon herself to find out who was responsible for the girl's accident-- and puts her own life at risk in the process. Seller Inventory # 021074
