Grand Central

When guerrilla soldiers decimate an African village, leaving behind bodies which are hardly recognizable, journalist Jill Cassidy wants justice. Determined to make the guilty pay for their unspeakable act of violence, she will do whatever she must to get retribution. But she can’t do it alone.

With the help of her friend Jed Novak, a CIA operative in the area, as well as others she meets along the way, Jill devises a plan to reveal the mastermind behind this heinous crime. And she’s not above implementing a little drama to get what she wants from those who can help her.

That’s when Jill contacts Eve Duncan under the guise of an interview. Although Eve doesn’t appreciate being manipulated, she also can’t resist helping since she agrees that something should be done to bring this story to the world’s attention. Thus Eve, along with her husband Quinn, Jed and Jill race against time as they face off with countries near collapse and power hungry rulers in an effort to defeat injustice and help the survivors begin to heal.

With Smokescreen, Johansen has written an action-packed, tension-filled novel with more twists and turns than a switchback road on a mountainside. That being said, readers will find themselves white knuckling the pages, holding on for dear life as they try to figure out the plot’s ultimate denouement. This is one story you won’t be able to put the book down until the very last word is read. Smokescreen is classic Johansen!
