Thus begins a terror-filled week during which she discovers that nearly everyone she loves is involved in some way with an international espionage ring - but are they the good guys or the bad guys? Is Bart, the man she has loved since they played together as children, a secret government agent - or does he answer to an underworld crime boss? If she doesn't go along with his unbelievable scheme, will it cost them their lives? Does he really love her, or is he just using her?
