Another great Iris Johansen romantic suspense. Emily Hudson is moving artifacts from an Afghanistan museum when she is attacked and taken hostage by a dispicable Australian who proceeds to torture her coworker, Joel while trying to get Emily to tell him where Zolov's hammer is. Emily has no idea what he is talking about and thus watches while over a week, Joel is brutally tortured, terrorized and killed. The CIA sends in a contracted individual who rescues Emily just in time. The story proceeds, the romance develops and Emily and her rescuer, Garrett, try to solve the mystery of Zolov's hammer. It is a turn pager with some interesting Russian historical background.
