For Delilah, the Mossad's top seductress, the parameters of the assignment were routine. The contractor: MI6. The objective: infiltrate a terror network, this one operating out of London. The stakes: a series of poison gas attacks on civilian population centers.There's just one wrinkle. The target is a woman - as smart, beautiful, and committed as Delilah herself. And for a cynical operative thrust suddenly out of her element, the twists and turns of the spy game are nowhere near as dangerous as the secrets and desires of the human heart.

The biggest downside is the lack of characters from his other series (try The Killer Collective if you want an ensemble cast of engaging killers, Delilah included). The minor downside is less action and more mind games (but I found those games absorbing). The last “downside” is really just a quirk: the author habitually uses “turtling” during action scenes (happened at least once in this) and “adrenaline” dumps
(a couple of times in this novella).
Overall, however, I found this novella to be one of his better stories for a few reasons:
- The spy craft is credibly and engagingly explained. Usually that sort of thing bores me, but here, I was fascinated by the rationale for casing rooms, adopting personas, and playing mind games with folks.
- Many of his plots revolve around trafficking and other abuse of women/children, and that can feel too personal and raw. Although still powerful, the terrorism plot and focus on Muslim culture was
a welcome change.
- Delilah may use her feminine wiles, but her greater weapon is her mind. She is a force to be reckoned with and I appreciate the deeper dive into her character.
- Ironically, of the various bedroom scenes in his books, it’s this one with two women that I found the best written. It is detailed, but very well done and completely necessary to make the storyline work. And, as soon as you get to the kiss, you can easily FF to the next chapter if that’s not your thing.
Stellar, sultry spy craft

This book can be read (or listened to) without being familiar with the universe, but I can't deny it's nice knowing the background of some characters and getting some of the references.
A fresh perspective!
