"In the newest international thrill ride from New York Times-bestselling author Ridley Pearson, John Knox and Grace Chu, the incomparable and often incompatible duo, team up again, this time in the exotic "city between two worlds," Istanbul. What's it like to see yourself in a picture you never knew was taken? John Knox is an expert at surveillance and delicate, international dealings. So he is understandably thrown when David "Sarge" Dulwich, his contact at Rutherford Risk, hands him a photo of a transaction he recently facilitated in the Middle East. More curious to him, he's shown that photo while in the Red Room, the private security company's highly secure underground bunker, where eavesdropping is impossible and privacy ensured. Why all the cloak-and-dagger? Knox is pressured into accepting a job as an art broker in the mysterious Istanbul, a city situated on two continents where East meets West and Islam meets Christianity. It is a melting pot of spies, terrorists, and conflicting interests. Teamed with smart, quick, and fearless Grace Chu, Knox must navigate a murky operation, the only goal of which is to spend five minutes in the proximity of a man they've never met. Why? What can it possibly matter? And why are so many others bound and determined to see it never happens-at any cost? "--… (más)

DO NOT attempt this book if you haven't read the other Risk a agent books. I found it confusing and I HAD read those books! ( )

Confusing, struggled to get through this. ( )

Risk agent series is not my favorite Pearson series.
Reads like a formula-based espionage/thriller series. Also, like many other authors using the middle east intrigue theme.
I tend to agree with previous reviewers. ( )

Although this series in no way measures up to the Boldt/Matthews novels, I remain a die-hard RP fan. Because of my attachment to this author, I gladly take the great with the good with the not so good. Love you RP....you've been my favorite since the 90's. ( )

Synopsis: John Knox and Grace Chu are teamed up to do an in-and-out with a piece of grey-market art. Their real job was to meet the buyer and 'stay in the room 5 minutes' with him. Nothing goes as planned and it is almost immediately apparent that their handler has not only not told them all they needed to know, but lied to them, as well.
Review: This is not Pearson's best piece of work. It is disjointed, at many times doesn't make any sort of sense and the sex is completely immaterial to what is happening with the story line. The story does not build any more empathy for either Chu or Knox; it also doesn't move the overall story along. ( )
