About this ebook
When federal agent Alexandra LaDuca travels to Egypt to investigate the possible sighting of a former mentor, she is thrown into the deadliest game of double cross in her career. An American woman working alone, she must rely on her wits, her training, and her skill with lethal weapons not just to succeed, but also to survive. A CIA agent whom she believed to be dead appears to be alive; and why is he dressing like an Arab and speaking Russian? Tough, savvy, and cool under fire, Alex pushes herself to the limits as she puts her life on the line once again for her faith and her country—all while working with a mysterious new partner who may or may not be trustworthy. This fast-paced contemporary espionage thriller is exactly what Noel Hynd fans have been waiting for, the third and final installment of the Russian Trilogy. It will keep everyone turning pages and guessing from beginning to end.

Reviews for Countdown in Cairo
18 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Countdown in Cairo starts out with a dramatic beginning with the morgue as the backdrop and then drops back to the beginning of the story. The set up to the main story was slow at times, but that is because the story is rich in detail of locations and background. It is certainly worth the wait! There are a number of background facts about the Russian events mixed in with the fiction creating an interesting blend. All three of the books feature Alexandra LaDuca, a strong female character that is smart, formidable, and a woman of faith. There were more spiritual elements to this story than the other books as Alex has struggles with moral consequences in her employment and with forgiveness. This is another GREAT book by this author.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I liked the way this story began. It started in a morgue, left you kind of hanging, and then in chapter two it takes you back two months earlier, so you can see how you came to be at the morgue. This was another fast-paced action packed mystery.Federal agent Alexandra ("Alex") LaDuca will this time travel to Egypt to investigate the sighting of a former CIA agent who everyone thought was dead. She will be in the midst of a deadly game of double cross, as she tries to figure out how the events in Kiev (book one) and in Madrid (book two) all fit together here in Cairo. She finds herself getting to meet crooks, killers, spies and some good guys, but she will survive on her wits and training. Alex will also say goodbye to a "friend"? in this book, who has been in all three books in this series. All in all, I enjoyed this series although there is very little romance, it is filled with intrigue and danger.
