| Plot Summary of Unfinished Business |
|---|
"Shattered by her husband's half-truths and too frequent absences, Lindsay Mayer felt like chucking it all after finding out he is having an affair with another woman. She turns to a childhood friend for advice. The friend offers her a job with the Justice Department and a chance at a new
life. Lindsay accepts. Her husband has disappeared; she can't even find him to divorce him. Lindsay recreates herself as part of her new and exciting life.
When she is transferred to London in an exchange between the US Justice Department and MI5, she learns to speak with a very proper English accent and develops a talent for computer hacking and covert operations.
Five busy and exciting years pass. When valuable ID's are stolen from a diplomatic pouch at the British Embassuy, Lindsay is sent to Washington to find the thieves and disable the secret codes encrypted in the security badges. It's very doubtful she would ever run into her ex-husband, and even more doubtful he would have anything to do with the British Embassy...
