Flashpoint

By Jen Selinsky

From unrelenting action to intense emotion, from high-stakes drama to break-neck pacing, bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann is a novelist who does it all. Now Brockmann delivers an exciting thriller about men and women operating where agents of the U.S. government cannot, where America's most ruthless enemies thrive--and where every step you take just might be your last. . . . Jimmy Nash has already lived two lives--and he can' t talk about either of them. Formerly an operative of a top secret government agency, he has found a new job with a shadowy company called Troubleshooters Inc. Created by a former Navy SEAL, Troubleshooters Inc. helps anyone in desperate need--which provides a perfect cover for its other, more perilous objective: covert special operations. Now Nash and a quickly assembled team of expert operators have come to the earthquake-ravaged country of Kazbekistan in the guise of relief workers. There, amid the dust and death, in a land of blood red sunsets and ancient blood feuds, they must track down a missing laptop computer that may hold secrets vital to national security. To get it done, Nash does what he does best: break every rule in the book and manipulate those who can help him get what he needs. But this time, Nash may have met his match in Tess Bailey, an Troubleshooters operative with all the right instincts--and zero field experience. The deep attraction between them is immediate . . . and potentially explosive, with risk at every turn. Now these two professionals must play out their dangerous games in the world's most dangerous place--cut off from their own government, cutting deals with people they can't trust, and guarding forbidden passions that threaten to compromise their crucial mission. A full throttle adventure teamed with heated emotion, Flashpoint proves that Suzanne Brockmann can spin suspense unlike any other author working today.

Customer Reviews

A bit different from the others but incredibly complex passion.

Here's the new breed of super-heroes, employed by none other than our collective heart-throb ex-SEAL Tom Paoletti. His new company is called Troubleshooters Inc.: covert special ops, going where no government dares to go, etc. You know the drill! Jimmy Nash and a team under the leadership of the fascinating Lawrence Decker (and there's a story within a story - you'll be screaming for his book!) enter Kazbekistan as `relief...

If you don't fall half in love with Nash - you didn't read the book!

I love Suzanne Brockmann! There is no other author that can compell me to read until the ugly hours of the night. This book has been one of my favorites and one of the books I return to again and again. It may be slightly disconcerting to some Brockmann fans because it introduces all new characters with only a small overlap of familiar "friends". Once I got over that, I loved it. Once I finished it the first time, I re-read...

I could not stop reading!

Jimmy Nash and Tess Bailey are together again. Well sort of. Several months ago, Tess, a computer analyst, helped Nash save his best friend and colleague Decker from a potential hit. With the adrenaline running high and eyes wide open, Nash and Tess had a one night stand after all was said and done. Now, they are part of a team sent to Kazbekistan to help recover a laptop with enough information that could put a major...

Read it again

When I first read this novel, I thought that she deviated from the original framework that she has worked with for so long. And I was disappointed. I read it again though because the characters drew me in enough to merit a re-read. I liked it more the second time, and the third time I loved it. The characters get better each time, and although I didn't understand Nash's way of showing emotion in the beginning I got it...

GREAT work Suzanne!!!

This book is definitely different from her previous work, but it was still very good. If your reason for reading this book is an intense sex every 10 pages then you'll be disappointed. BUT.... you will miss some fun new characters and some insight into a different culture. I recommend this and all of Suzanne Brockmann's previous work. FUN summer read!
