Red, White and Blue
He's an FBI special agent from the mountains. She's a liberal New York journalist. Both are drawn together as they infiltrate a dangerous hate group. Complete opposites, these two are about to discover they have much more in common than either could possibly imagine. The "New York Times Book Review" calls this novel delightful. From "Compromising Positions" to "Lily White," Susan Isaacs has written seven critically acclaimed novels, all unforgettable "New York Times" bestsellers that have enthralled and touched her numerous fans. Now, she delivers her most powerful story yet, the gripping saga of two ordinary strangers whose hearts and lives will be joined in a most extraordinary way. . . . A straight shooter in every sense, FBI agent Charlie Blair has the numbing job of a bureaucrat and the soul of a cowboy. Dying a slow death from lack of purpose, he jumps at the chance to leave behind Dairy Queen vanilla cones and the History Channel to infiltrate a paramilitary group in Wyoming. Charlie's not the only one hot on the trail, however. Lauren Miller, a bright, ambitious New York journalist, has arrived in Jackson Hole and is bent on finding these extremists for a career-making scoop. On the surface, this whiter than whitebread mountain man and the independent, urbane East-coast writer seem worlds apart. But they share more than they can ever imagine--including a great-great-grandmother and a mutual desire for justice that will spark not only a powerful passion for the truth . . . but an irresistible passion for each other too.
