About this audiobook
For Delilah, the Mossad’s top seductress, the parameters of the assignment were routine. The contractor: MI6. The objective: infiltrate a terror network, this one operating out of London. The stakes: a series of poison gas attacks on civilian population centers.
There’s just one wrinkle. The target is a woman--as smart, beautiful, and committed as Delilah herself. And for a cynical operative thrust suddenly out of her element, the twists and turns of the spy game are nowhere near as dangerous as the secrets and desires of the human heart.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Yup. Another great Eisler installment... only drawback is that short stories are too short. Get writing Barry!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. Recommended reading for anyone who likes spy fiction. Eisler is a former CIA operative who is most known his series about
John Rain a former Vietnam War Commando who is part Japanese and part American. This story is not about John Rain although he is a
background character who Delilah remembers fondly and regrets saying goodbye to. Delilah is a Mossad agent. She's blonde and every head turns when she walks down the street. She's tough as nails and
deadly as a nuclear missle. You don't want to mess with her. She has
an undercover assignment in London and she needs to infilitrate
Islamic terror cells before something bad happens. A well written tale
that is hard to put down. It doesn't have the Japanese phrases and
city descriptions that made A Clean Kill in Tokyo so interesting but it's a good story. Read it - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I always like Barry Eisler's books. This novella features Delilah, a recurring character from the John Rain series. It's an enjoyable yarn, though I can see some people getting a bit squeamish toward the end (for reasons that I won't reveal). Worth reading if you're a fan of the Rain books; otherwise, the protagonist and her issues may not prove very meaningful.
