A summer trip to Paris in 1976…the toss of a strange challenge coin…and the offer to join a clandestine government program…that’s what led Isobelle Wylie on an unforgettable journey into the dangerous world of espionage, love, and betrayal.

Even her family never knew about the secret life she lived. She was covertly trained to shadow national security threats as a member of the CIA’s Pantomime Team. Their main target? The KGB’s Eighth Chief Directorate, whose illegals used dirty tricks and coercion to gain access to America’s highly sensitive, very classified communications, equipment, and technology.

Forty-five years later, she is attacked in a park in Maryland, savagely beaten and left for dead. Was it just a random encounter with a brutal assailant, or something far more sinister? Something to do with the current state of national security?

Her nephew, Will Redfern, is quickly drawn into the intrigue when he opens the professional safe in her condo. As he reads her journals and manuscript, he realizes that the enemy she’s been fighting for decades is still actively hunting for the Pantomime Team. Why is Moscow so worried about what Belle and her fellow shadows know about those old spy cells?

Desperate for answers, Will tracks down a man his aunt calls “MacGuyver”. As the two men search for Belle’s assailant, they uncover a heinous plot that has its roots deep inside Moscow and the old KGB First Directorate, where President Vladimir Putin served as a KGB officer. Did Putin reactivate the old terror networks once handled by the KGB in order to get inside America’s present day national security?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sara M. Barton is the author of several popular cozy mystery series that often feature humor, romance, and pets, but no ghosts, witches, or psychics (It’s not that she thinks these are bad books; it’s that she’s more of a traditionalist when it comes to cozies.)

She’s the author of a new historical mystery called "The Pantomime Double-Cross", with a heroine who has lived a secret life for forty-five years, unbeknownst to family and friends.

Under the pen name of S. M. Barton, she’s written several espionage thrillers, including "The Mirrors: A Moscow Joe Cyberspy Thriller".

Once she wraps up the final chapter of her old life, Sara’s slated to begin her new life and tackle her overdue bucket list. When she’s not writing, she loves to get outside and enjoy nature, especially after hip replacement: “If my new hip were a man, I would marry him in a heartbeat for all the right reasons. He’s good to me, takes me wherever I want to go, and he’s fun to be around. Perfect qualities in a mate.”

Happy Reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Who is Will's Aunt
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2021
The KGB, spies, a brutal beating and frightening characters come alive when Will opens hi aunt's safe and begins read her journals. He intends to find out what is happening and why his aunt was beaten and left for dead. An exciting story that will have you glued to the pages and you won't want to put this book down until the very end. Things aren't always what they seem to be. Neither are people.
Highly Recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars A “then and now” storyline with mystery and love

Great story line, but not a casual Sunday read I would normally choose! Lots of history and detail. But I loved the building of family relationship and the strong female character that thrives during adversity !
