A dedicated CIA agent becomes an unexpected ally for a woman haunted by the kidnapping of her family in "Suspects," a suspenseful novel by international bestselling author Danielle Steel. Theodora Morgan is a fashion queen. Founder of a highly popular online shopping service, she is one of the most successful businesswomen in the world, though she prefers to keep a low profile, especially in recent months. A year ago, the unthinkable happened to her family: her husband, industry mogul Matthieu Pasquier, and their son were kidnapped and held for ransom – a nightmare that ended in tragedy. The case has gone cold, despite evidence linking the crime to Matthieu's Russian competitors. Theodora reluctantly returns to work to run her company. During a flight for the launch event of one of her much-anticipated pop-up stores in New York City, she meets high-profile 'networker' Pierre de Vaumont. Theodora kindly invites him to her event – unaware that Pierre has been flagged by the CIA. Senior CIA Inspector Mike Andrews investigates Pierre's suspicious foreign contacts and grants him entry into the country, but when he realizes that Theodora Morgan is on the same flight, he worries about her safety. Posing as a lawyer, Mike embarks on a covert mission – starting at Theodora's opening party. When Mike and Theodora meet, their connection is immediate, but Theodora is completely unaware of Mike's true mission or identity . . . or that the life she is rebuilding is in serious danger.
