The twists and turns on her journey turn into a dangerous and courageous battle for her life. After she is sent to get some coffee at the airport for her traveling companion she returns to find her missing.  Shortly after Marie sees her entering into the restroom.  Marie follows and the companion get murdered. Marie has become a witness.  Marie is to find out that she is next in line to be trailed and hounded for a flash drive that has been slipped into her luggage by her murdered friend.

I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a thrill from the ordinary. I loved the book; it was an easy read and kept me awake until 3am because I couldn't stop reading.  It's a page by page thriller about an everyday woman who finds herself in a world of espionage and danger.  I can't wait to read more from this author.
