More About the Author

"[Rebecca York's] books. . . deliver what they promise: excitement, mystery, romance. . ."
- Michael Dirda, Washington Post

An award-winning, best-selling novelist, Ruth Glick is the author of over 100 books. Writing as Rebecca York, she has authored or co-authored over 50 romantic suspense novels. The first of her Berkley Sensation paranormal romantic suspense novels, KILLING MOON, was published in June 2003; EDGE OF THE MOON followed in August 2003 and WITCHING MOON in October 2003. KILLING MOON and EDGE OF THE MOON were launch books for the Berkley Sensation imprint.

She writes the popular 43 Light Street series for Harlequin Intrigue. Over 30 Light Street Intrigues have been published. NOWHERE MAN was called "one of the most heart-wrenching, moving works of romantic suspense in several years," by reviewer Harriet Klausner.

Ruth's many awards include two Rita finalist books. She has two Career Achievement awards from Romantic Times: for Series Romantic Suspense and Series Romantic Mystery. NOWHERE MAN was the Romantic Times Best Intrigue of 1998, and the book has been selected as one of their Reviewers' "all-time favorite 400 romances." In addition, she received the 1998 Affaire de Coeur's Critics Choice Award for Best Contemporary Novel, also for NOWHERE MAN. Ruth's book, KILLING MOON won the 2003 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award for best Paranormal. AMANDA'S CHILD won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for Long Contemporary and was nominated for Best Intrigue of 2000 by Romantic Times. "Tyler" in BAYOU BLOOD BROTHERS won the 2001 Golden Leaf Award for best Novella. In 2007 THE SECRET NIGHT received the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice Award for best Harlequin Intrigue. Ruth's cookbook, 100% PLEASURE, was picked by USA Today as one of the 12 best cookbooks of 1994; her FABULOUS LO-CARB CUISINE was a finalist for the MidAtlantic Publishers Association's Excellence in Independent Publishing Award.

Several of Ruth's Moon books (WITCHING MOON, SHADOW OF THE MOON, and NEW MOON) have been on the USA Today best-seller list.

Ruth and her husband travel frequently to research settings for novels and taste new dishes for cookbooks. Her many unique experiences are apt to end up in her books--like the time she encountered a coral snake in the Guatemalan jungle or took a flight in a hot air balloon.

This review is from: Flight of the Raven (Mass Market Paperback)

this is a reprint of the 1986 Peregrine Connection - Flight of the Raven -- Wow! what a set of books. Definitely a must have.

Aleksei Rozonov is a KGB spy and has eluded capture for years. He is working in Spain under Gereral Bogolubov in the Russian Embassy.
He narrowly escaped an explosion in the Taverna San Jeronimo were he was meeting Dan Eisenberg.
He was in trouble as his connections were cut off.

Julie McLean was working in the American Embassy and heard about her close friend Dan being one of the persons killed in the explosion.
She was called to go to Dan's apartment where she found his appointment book with a number of days marked with an R on a few of the pages.
She also found a ticket to a Spanish play she wanted to see. Well that led to all of her troubles.

There she sees the Russian, Aleksei Rozonov and knows that he was a hunter and she was his prey. Slowly she is drawn into an intrigue that she is not equiped to handle. Can she trust this Russian or prove him to be a dangerous spy. She has to do this for Dan.

Aleksei knows that he can't trust anyone and he must get the Topaz report out to certain people and if he has to use Julie he will. Even to seducing her.

Julie is not unfamiliar with men but none had ever raised the kind of emotions in her that she felt with Aleksei.
There were many working against her that she wasn't even aware of.
And the Russian General called in the KGB's secret weapon, Yuri Hramov, a man who enjoyed killing.

This story brings on pulse-pounding tension, dangerous rescues, a bit of pain, and looking for means of escape.

The Falcon was desperately trying to find a way to help the Raven and get his report. He needed the proof for the people at the Pentegon.
Yuri was determined to kill the Raven who had humiliated him.

Great group of characters, action packed plot, and we meet Mark Bradley again. For all their messing aroung [g> making love?] Julie doesn't get pregnant yet. what a waste of time!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED --M - these 3 books are definitely keepers.
