The Pipeline. The Alphabet Series, #3

Book N of The Alphabet Series - 26 Letters, 26 StoriesSome assets are meant to be burned. Others are meant to fight back. Nicole Wilmington is the U. S. Department of Defense's most reliable weapon in the grey zone-the shadowy realm of espionage that stops just short of war. Her mission: derail the "Baltic Pipeline, " a Russian project poised to hand Europe's energy future to the Kremlin. Operating under deep cover in the heart of Berlin, Nicole plays a lethal game.
She blackmails a corrupt German minister, turns his chief of staff into a double agent, and eliminates a ruthless lobbyist, all while staying one step ahead of GRU assassins. She is the puppet master, pulling the strings of a conspiracy that spans continents. But when the minister executes a stunning public betrayal, Nicole's meticulously constructed operation implodes. The pipeline is approved, her cover is blown, and the evidence she gathered is twisted to frame her own country as the aggressor.
In an instant, the hunter becomes the hunted. Now, with Russian killers on her trail and her own government ready to sacrifice her to contain the scandal, Nicole has no allies and no safe haven. To survive, she must do the one thing she was never trained for: defy her commands, expose the conspiracy, and turn the tables on the most powerful enemies imaginable-those who sit in the halls of power in both Washington and Moscow.
Her job was to silence loose ends. Now, she is one. The Pipeline is a tense, atmospheric thriller of ambition and sabotage-another gripping chapter in The Alphabet Series.
