"Hizballah has a nuclear weapon. Now, only CIA Intelligence Officer Alanna Reynolds stand between them and the destruction of Israel. The Game of Lies is the story of Alanna Reynolds, the gutsy, sexy heroine, whose natural cover is that of an international bloodstock agent and breeder of champion Thoroughbred racehorses. Cool, briliant, and no stranger to danger, her objective is to prevent a faction of the terrorist group Hizballah's aquisition of a nuclear device by way of the Russian and French mafias, and its eventual use. Old scores to settle and an old love rekindled weave a web of mystery and romance throughout this thriller. "
