Undeceived — Karen M. Cox

Pride and Prejudice in the Spy Game ...if I endeavor to undeceive people as to the rest of his conduct, who will believe me? -Pride and Prejudice (Chapter 40) During the last gasp of the Cold War, Elizabeth Bennet, a young, forthright counterintelligence officer, embarks on an exciting assignment that would make her late father, a fallen CIA operative, proud. She transfers to Europe to investigate the legendary and elusive William Darcy, an officer in line for the coveted Soviet station chief position who's suspected of being a double agent. William Darcy appears to lead a charmed existence, but now he finds himself fighting for his career and against his growing feelings for the young woman he doesn't know is watching his every move. Elizabeth wants to throw the book at him, but the facts don't match her preconceptions. Is Darcy being set up? Are there darker forces at work? Or is William Darcy a skilled double agent after all? Nothing is as it seems, however, and the closer Elizabeth gets to the truth about Darcy, the more she spirals into danger. Undeceived, the new novel by award-winning author Karen M. Cox is part romance, part spy game suspense- a compelling variation on Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's classic tale.
