| book description |

Passport to Danger is a thrilling story of espionage during the height of the Cold War with the action racing from posh office towers in New York City to a crescendo in the resort towns of Cuernavaca and Acapulco with stakes of nuclear proportions. The CIA-backed invasion of the Bay of Pigs had been repelled by Russian-armed Cuba, the Berlin Wall had been erected separating East from West, and the Cuban Missile Crisis had brought the US and Russia one launch button away from World War III. The arms race between the two world powers was at a fevered pitch and the Cold War was at its apex. It is against this backdrop that supermodel Elizabeth Lamont is recruited by the CIA after a case of mistaken identity and thrust into the conflict as a double agent impersonating notorious KGB operative Nicola Neumann. Elizabethâ€™s mission is to reach Anton Sobokov, who defected from Russia and became a leading US nuclear physicist. Now heâ€™s being held by the KGB in a house in Cuernavaca, Mexico, waiting to be transported to Cuba by plane and Moscow by boat. While impersonating Nicola Neumann, Elizabeth must gain access to the house and obtain the encrypted code to Sobokovâ€™s work before it falls into the hands of the Soviets. Should she fail, the balance of power could shift from the US to Russia. With a growing affection for Steve Brenner, a nuclear scientist and close friend of the perceived traitor, Sobokov, the stakes become personal as Elizabeth must prevent her emotions from sabotaging her missionâ€”even if the answers she uncovers devastate the man she may be growing to love.
