You know CIA agent, John Medina, must have an interesting story if you've read Kill & Tell. "All the Queen's Men" brings this complicated man to the forefront - finally breaking with his determination to avoid life & love after years of denial. Niema works for the CIA too and is in denial of her own, dealing with a loss that ties her to John in pain & guilt - and her need to be involved in more action than the safe communications research job she turned to after her husband's death. There's no doubt they belong together - it's their struggle to make sense of that and turn it into reality and at the same time respond to their country's need that creates the action and intrigue. The struggle to prioritize one's own life with nature, need and duty give this story more substance than the usual romance or suspense novel.
