Description
A fast-paced international thriller in the vein of Janet Evanovich by former NPR anchor and correspondent Mary Louise Kelly, about a Pakistani terrorist’s nuclear threat to blow up the White House.
When Boston reporter Alexandra James is assigned to cover the death of Thom Carlyle, the son of a powerful Washington insider, she soon discovers the story is not as simple as it seems. The young man fell from the top of a Harvard bell tower, but did he jump…or was he pushed?
Intent on escaping the demons of her past, Alex knows how to outwork, outdrink, and outshop anyone else around. Now she is focused on what could be “the story of a lifetime”—chasing leads from Harvard Yard to the courtyards of Cambridge, England, from a clandestine rendezvous in London to the inside of a nuclear terrorist network. But when she goes to Washington, DC, for a key interview that promises to tie everything together, Alex the hunter becomes Alex the hunted. An assassin is dispatched…her laptop disappears…her phone is tapped…and she begins to grasp that Thom Carlyle may have been killed to hide a terrifying conspiracy within the White House itself.
Former NPR Intelligence correspondent Mary Louise Kelly has turned her own real-life reporting adventures into fiction with this stylish spy thriller.

5By KCSongboydAn absolutely thrilling and wonderful read! Mary Louise Kelly has transitioned from talented NPR correspondent to novelist extraordinaire. It is hard to believe this is only her first book. I look forward to reading many more.Dynamic New Author, Fun Read
4By CtlpAlexandra James is a rich character, and Mary Louise Kelley does a fabulous job making her human and an inciting reporter. Stories get written when the right person pulls on a loose thread, a detail overlooked -- which is what makes this book a realistic and fun read.Best book I've read since Fifty Shades series!
5By zadiemayAlex James is wonderful. She could be any of us and all of us. I was on the edge if my seat and couldn't put my iPad down! I look forward to read more books from Mary Louise Kelly. Thank you NPR for talking about it on the radio, I may have never come across it myself! I'm ready for the next one!Easy and fun
4By Iamwhoiam11A fun, easy read. This is the first book I have read since giving birth 9 months ago. A great choice to get back into the habit. Occasionally it was a bit too girly, occasionally a 'page turner' but none the less I read it in a day and enjoyed it all. It could be a great start to a series for this character, and I would look forward to each installment.
