After receiving word that Florida mobster Gordon Burns may be working with international terrorists, ex-cop Ric Alvarado manages to gain access to Burns's inner circle in prolific best seller Brockmann's enjoyable 11th Troubleshooters thriller. Alvarado's feat brings him to the attention of Jules Cassidy, a maverick FBI agent and counterterrorism expert derided by fellow agents for being gay. The message of tolerance and the personal issues—Cassidy's relationship with closeted Hollywood leading man Robin Chadwick; Alvarado's crush on his attractive assistant, Annie Dugan; Cassidy's determined struggle for acceptance and recognition—at times interfere with the terrorist plot in the mix of undercover police work and romance, but romantic suspense fans should be well satisfied.
