The Very Secret Weapon

Alex is as knowledgeable about Jimmy Choo, Chanel, Hermés, and Christian Dior as she is about Glock and Sig Sauer. Come along on a breathtaking race through a world of glamour and danger with a truly new kind of covert agent.

''...This one's going to be trouble...''

Alex sensed this first impression when she met Simon Hewitt. As one of her country's very secret weapons, Alex has survived many difficult situations, often exercising her ''terminal abilities'' to eliminate threats to national security. And she does it all while maintaining her facade of a chic Washington widow whose prime concerns seem to be shopping and socializing.

But this was one of few times when a man has threatened her sense of romantic freedom and security. While jetting around the world to be with this new lover, Alex finds herself up against the Russian Mafia, high priced assassins, and Arab terrorists.

Author Tillman Gilson takes the reader on a high speed chase through the world of spies, killers, high fashion, and gourmet food and drink. Gilson's hero, Alex, using both underworld and legitimate contacts in London, Paris, Moscow, Washington, Rome and other glamorous locales throughout the world, races to stop a hit on her new lover while plotting to eliminate one of the most dangerous hired killers in the world.
