A BORROWED NAME

A HIDDEN PAST

A DEADLY TRUTH

Alexandra Adams arrived in Munich under a borrowed name.

ABIGAIL PELLETIER.

For one semester, she is meant to blend in— pursuing her doctorate while quietly observing her enigmatic adviser, the brilliant and controversial chemist Vladimir Kolanov.

But Kolanov knows who she is.

And he believes he knows why she came.

What begins as a simple academic arrangement spirals into something far more dangerous— a buried history of espionage, betrayal, and a deadly mistake that reaches back to her parents.

Kidnapped, drugged, and forced into a confrontation she doesn’t understand, Alex realizes too late:

She was never meant to observe the game. She was meant to be part of it.

GENRE: fiction, psychological espionage
