This book is the fifth in a series. While it can be read as a standalone, it certainly makes more sense of you have read the other books in the series. The whole series is great, so you might as well start from the beginning. The series is a blend of archeology and suspense. Cressida is an underwater archeologist working on her dissertation. She has a theory which has her looking for undiscovered tunnels in terrorist controlled countries. She believes herself safe until she discovers the translator she hired has placed her in grave danger. Ian is a covert operative who believes Cressida is knowingly working with the terrorists. He happens to save her from an attack then ingratiates himself into her life and trip while lying about his identity. In the end, the two discover they need each other's help to survive and possibly thwart further terrorist actions. Unfortunately, they both have secrets, and Ian's is a big one. When all the lies blow up in their faces, it will take everything they have plus the help of Cressida's friends at Raptor to get them out alive.
As was the case with all the other books in this series, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I was very excited to be given an advance copy for review from Net Galley.
