Summary
Summary
Suzanne Brockmann releases another installment in her popular series of romantic-suspense novels. The storyline of Dark of Night begins on the same day that Into the Fire ends, making this a satisfying continuation of the series.
Summary
For years, operative James Nash has performed ultra-covert "Black Ops" missions for The Agency, but when he decides to walk away from their dirty work, his corrupt bosses aren't about to let him go. After Nash is nearly assassinated, Troubleshooters team leader Lawrence Decker launches a skillful deception to neutralize the threat and protect his friend. With the FBI's help, Decker fakes Nash's death, then brings him to a safe house with his fiancee, Tess Bailey, to recover from his injuries and strategize their next move.
Only a handful of people know that Nash is still alive--and fellow Troubleshooters Dave Malkoff, Sophia Ghaffari, and receptionist Tracy Shapiro aren't among them. Believing that Nash is dead and that Decker has begun a romantic relationship with Tess, Sophia settles for second best and begins a love affair with Dave, who has adored her for years. But Tracy puts two and two together, discovering the truth about Nash--much to Decker's dismay.
As passions flare, Decker struggles to keep his scheme afloat, and to keep Nash alive. But when he finds himself targeted for death, the game turns even more perilous, and Sophia, Tracy, and Dave are swept into the deadly play. Under fire and racing to unmask their relentless adversary, the Troubleshooters know that the closer they get, the greater the risks. But sacrifices and consequences come with the territory. Forced to choose between love and loyalty, they are no longer just solving a crime--they're fighting for survival.

Publisher's Weekly Review
The spy games seldom interfere with the love games of the assorted couples in bestseller Brockmann's 14th Troubleshooters Inc. romantic thriller (after Into the Fire). In San Diego, sassy Troubleshooters receptionist Tracy Shapiro, who's survived several romantic disasters, may have met her match in Lawrence "Deck" Decker, Troubleshooters' macho team leader. Deck's the former partner of Jimmy Nash, a "dead" TS Inc. operative, who's actually in hiding with Tess Bailey, his girlfriend and colleague. Also in jeopardy are Dave Malkoff and his fellow op, Sophia Ghaffari, whose heart now belongs to Dave, who'll do anything to protect Sophia and their unborn child. When Dave's kidnapped to smoke out Jimmy, the TS Inc. team and the FBI unite in a rescue plan. While the pillow talk at times overshadows the action, Brockmann fans will cheer as her global problem solvers work out their latest sticky dilemmas, both personal and professional. (Feb.)

Booklist Review
Troubleshooters Inc. operative Jimmy Nash's death during a mission taking out a neo-Nazi cult leader changed everything. Not only does team leader David Malkoff feel responsible; he feels even guiltier because now that Jimmy is gone, David may finally have a chance with teammate Sophia Ghaffari. Lawrence Decker is one of the few people at Troubleshooters Inc. who knows the truth about Jimmy's death, until the receptionist, Tracy Shapiro, figures it out and complicates things. As part of the group assigned to protect Jimmy, Tess Bailey finds separating herself from the job difficult given her past history and potential future with Jimmy. In the fourteenth installment of her wildly popular Troubleshooters Inc. series, award-winning and best-selling Brockmann picks up the action from Into the Fire (2008), as assorted characters work together to bring down the mastermind behind a deadly Black-Ops scheme. Once again Brockmann neatly blends high-adrenaline suspense and scorchingly sexy romance into an addictively readable mix.--Charles, John Copyright 2009 Booklist
