Book Description:
From unrelenting action to intense emotion, from high-stakes drama to break-neck pacing, New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann is a novelist who does it all. Now after her blockbuster hardcover debut, Gone Too Far, Brockmann delivers an exciting new thriller about men and women operating where agents of the U.S. government cannot, where America's most ruthless enemies thrive - and where every step you take just might be your last....
Jimmy Nash has already lived two lives - and he can't talk about either of them. Formerly an operative of a top secret government agency, he has found a new job with a shadowy company called Troubleshooters Inc. Created by a former Navy SEAL, Troubleshooters Inc. helps anyone in desperate need - which provides a perfect cover for its other, more perilous objective: covert special operations.
Now Nash and a quickly assembled team of expert operators have come to the earthquake-ravaged country of Kazbekistan in the guise of relief workers. There, amid the dust and death, in a land of blood red sunsets and ancient blood feuds, they must track down a missing laptop computer that may hold secrets vital to national security.
To get it done, Nash does what he does best: break every rule in the book and manipulate those who can help him get what he needs. But this time, Nash may have met his match in Tess Bailey, an Troubleshooters operative with all the right instincts - and zero field experience. The deep attraction between them is immediate ... and potentially explosive, with risk at every turn. Now these two professionals must play out their dangerous games in the world's most dangerous place - cut off from their own government, cutting deals with people they can't trust, and guarding forbidden passions that threaten to compromise their crucial mission.
A full throttle adventure teamed with heated emotion, Flashpoint proves that Suzanne Brockmann can spin suspense unlike any other author working today.
From the Hardcover edition.

Part of her SEAL Team 16 series, this is the first book in Tom Paoletti's "Troubleshooters" saga. Starring Decker, Nash and Tess - it takes place in K-stan (aka "The Pit") and has them looking for an elusive laptop belonging to a terrorist who died in a recent earthquake. Nice love triangle between the aforementioned characters and throws in another female American to the mix once they arrive. Not a keeper but I did enjoy the action. Could have used a little more romance and a little less "save the heroine from the bad guys".

I honestly couldn't finish this book. It revolves around Kazbekistan and terrorists which is a topic I absolutely abhor. Since I really like Suzanne Brockmann, I didn't read the back of the book before I purchased and I really should have. I greatly enjoy her writing and this book is no different from her others in that regard. I made it up to page 150 before I gave up. The whole terrorism thing and degrading women was just too much for me.
Mary C. (This was an extremely good read!! I tend to skip past "dry" parts of a book - this one had me turning & reading every page. I liked to change of locale - Kasbekistan isn't a usual choice. Ms. Brockmann made her characters - all of them - seem like regular people, with all the quirks us humans possess. This was the 1st "Troubleshooter" book I've read but I plan on reading as many as I can. Well-written, fast-paced drama-romance without alot of fluff.
Emilie M. (Very good book. Interesting storyline and keeps you wondering what's next!
Naomi L. (A Troubleshooters Inc book. Tess Bailey joins a team that is going into earthquake ravaged Kazbekistan to recover a lost terrorist laptop. On this team is Jimmy Nash, a man she had a one nighter with months earlier. Brockmann portrays danger, romance and suspense in her typical manner
Dawn T. (This is book seven of the Troubleshooters series. This was not as good as previous books but nonetheless worth reading.
Jimmy Nash and Tess Bailey are together again. Well sort of. Several months ago, Tess, a computer analyst, helped Nash save his best friend and colleague Decker from a potential hit. With the adrenaline running high and eyes wide open, Nash and Tess had a one night stand after all was said and done. Now, they are part of a team sent to Kazbekistan to help recover a laptop with enough information that could put a major dent in the fight against terrorism. Can these two work together or will their attraction get them killed?
Veteran romantic-suspense novelist Brockmann serves up a heady mix of tension, romance and international intrigue. Readers first meet Agency computer specialist Tess Bailey posing as a topless barmaid in order to save field agent Lawrence Decker from a deadly setup. After she and gorgeous macho agent Diego "Jimmy" Nash succeed in rescuing Decker, they celebrate with a steamy one-night stand that they both later regret. Months later, Tess quits when she doesn't get the promotion she was promised; conveniently, partners Decker and Nash have quit the Agency as well and have signed on with a covert private agency, Troubleshooters, Incorporated. Assigned to earthquake-ravaged Kazbekistan (aka "The Pit") to retrieve the laptop of al-Qaeda warlord Padsha Bashir, they find themselves in need of a seasoned computer hacker: enter Tess. Player Nash is a bundle of nerves around Tess (he really likes her!), and Decker is smitten as well: it's the perfect love triangle. As Tess juggles the dangerous assignment and the affections of both men, Sophia, a mysterious woman who avenges her hatred of Padsha during the earthquake, asks their help in fleeing the country. Car bombs, shady American reporters, police interrogations, aftershocks and hot sex complicate matters, but it's a hotel ambush and Tess's kidnapping that sends both men on the rescue effort of their lives. Their brisk success allows the romantic entanglement to resume center stage, where, as far as romance fans are concerned, it belongs.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW
2005 book. Troubleshooters Inc. is an agency made up mostly of ex government agents from various agencies. I helps private citizens in trouble or goes where the Government can't officially go. This time they are after the laptop of a deceased terrorist and find a citizen or two in trouble while looking for it. I enjoyed it.
