Thirteen-year-old Nora Penderling has three minor problems. First, her father is a CIA agent and a lying rascal. Second, her real mother is not Candy, the upstanding woman she calls Mom, but rather a Russian spy and ruthless assassin, Natalya-current location unknown. And, third, Natalya just might be out there trying to assassinate her. Or protect her. 50-50. Lord. Determined to unravel the truth about her family and herself, Nora follows the trail of an exotic necklace from the souks of Dubai to the Louisiana estate, Black River, to the cobblestoned streets of old Vienna. But Nora's search is risky business. Her father could lose his job. Someone has followed her across three continents (and counting). And, Nora can trust, well, no one. Ultimately, Nora must face the question: is the truth worth risking...everything?
