Book Description, Modified from Back Cover:
When Saudi Prince Omar bin Talal visits Houston to seek cancer treatment for his mother, an attempt on his life puts all agencies on high alert. FBI Special Agent Kord Davidson is the lead on the prince's protective detail because of their long-standing friendship, but he's surprised--and none too happy--when the CIA brings one of their operatives, Monica Alden, in on the task force after the assassination attempt.

Kord and Monica must quickly put aside interagency squabbles, however, when they learn the prince has additional motives for his visit--plans to promote stronger ties with the US and encourage economic growth and westernization in his own country. Plans that could easily incite a number of suspects both in the US and in countries hostile to Saudi Arabia. Worse yet, the would-be assassin always seems to be one step ahead of them, implicating someone close to the prince--or the investigation. But who would be willing to commit high treason, and can Kord and Monica stop them in time?


My Review:
High Treason is a Christian romantic suspense. It's the third in a series, but it works as a stand-alone. This story didn't spoil events in the previous books.

The main characters were likable and interesting. Monica had to earn the respect of the Saudi men that she needed to work with while trying to discover if any of them had betrayed the prince. She also had to work through her trust issues with men (due to a previous partner manipulating and betraying her). Kord was friends with their top suspects, so he had difficulty really suspecting any of them. There were few clues for them to work with at first, but more came to light as more assassination attempts were made. They followed up on those leads. The suspense came from the physical danger involved in being a body guard trying to thwart a determined assassin.

Monica was a Christian, but she struggled to forgive herself for not stopping that crooked, manipulative previous partner before so many people were hurt by him. Kord was uncertain which religion was the correct one and questioned why a good God would allow so much suffering. There was no sex or bad language. Overall, I'd recommend this enjoyable suspense novel.
