Ride a Pale HorseWhen Karen Cornell, a beautiful journalist on assignment in Czechoslovakia, agrees to help a would-be defector by carrying top-secret documents to Washington, With the papers safely in the hands of Peter Bristow, the one CIA man Karen can trust, she is sure her part of the drama is over. But soon she is pulled into an astonishing web of terrorism, political assassination, blackmail, espionage, and treason in the highest levels of both superpowers. There is a mole in the CIA and its Bristow's job to find it, as well as protecting Karen from an unknown enemy. One false move could cost Karen her life-and throw the world into a violent war. |
