About this ebook
A shrewd investigator and an expert marksman, Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca can handle any case the FBI gives her. Or can she? While on loan from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alex is tapped to accompany a Secret Service team during an American Presidential visit to Ukraine. Her assignment: to keep personal watch over Yuri Federov, the most charming and most notorious gangster in the region. Against her better judgment—and fighting a feeling that she’s being manipulated—she leaves for Ukraine. But there are more parts to this dangerous mission than anyone suspects, and connecting the dots takes Alex across three continents and through some life-altering discoveries about herself, her work, her faith, and her future. Conspiracy in Kiev—from the first double-cross to the stunning final pages—is the kind of solid, fast-paced espionage thriller only Noel Hynd can write. For those who have never read Noel Hynd, this first book in The Russian Trilogy is the perfect place to start.

Reviews for Conspiracy in Kiev
49 ratings4 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5During the preparation for a United States presidential trip to Ukraine, Department of Treasury Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca was approached by the Secret Service for a special assignment. Her assignment was to keep an eye on organized crime leader Yuri Federov. Although conflicted, she accepted the job that would be a challenge to her both professionally and personally. Before the action ends, Part Two of the book changes the location and Alex finds and uneasy alliance.Conspiracy in Kiev is the first in this trilogy of international intrigue. I read these out of order, and although each of them was perfect as a standalone book, the three of them together are captivating.Alex is a smart woman of faith who can handle herself well in tough situations. The locations in the book are well described, so I had a sense of being there with the action. The characters are interesting and there is ample information to get to know and understand them. There is a perfect blend of narration and conversation without either being overdone. Plenty of action and adventure held my interest until the end.Although Alex is a person of faith, this is not a religious or preachy book. Her feelings of conflict in her faith and moral dilemmas are worked out in the book, but she is far from a perfect person. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good thriller, adventure, and story of international intrigue.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I have to admit I wasn't ever loving this book. Some of the prejudices that are apparent in the book (although supposedly belonging to the characters not the author) made my jaw drop. Additionally, the main character is just too unbelievable, she's BEYOND perfect in practically every way (Mary Poppins isn't this good). When the author decided that she could hear the signal put out by the bug in her apartment (which accordingly could only be heard by animals) I finally gave it up; I couldn't take anymore. This has been permanently deleted.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5From the openning scene with Daniel until the surprise ending is revealed, Conspiracy in Kiev manages to envelope and maintain the readers attention completely for the most part. The scenes are filled with excellent descriptors and the reader has no problems visualizing them. For instance, the reader could see the rattler coiling around Alex's leg slowly raising his head to strike. Then after Alex finally pulls the trigger, the reader finds himself exhaling with relief to find the danger has passed.The one time your attention may waiver is when Alex has returned home after Robert has been killed. She becomes depressed to the point of having suicidal ideations and although realistic, I felt Nydel could have gotten his point across in half the words and used the extra words to further describe Rizzo's own investigation further.As with most Zondervan books, the lead character is Christian but not so much that the book is overwhelmed by it. Alex's faith is a main part of who she is and unlike most books these days, her beliefs, questions and doubts, as well as actions such as touching her cross are realistic and believable.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Special Agent Alexandra LaDuca ("Alex") is on loan from the U.S. Dept. of the Treasury, and is "tapped to accompany a Secret Service team during an American Presidential visit to Ukraine". Her specific assignment is to keep a close eye on Yuri Federov, a charming and notorious gangster in the area. But all is not as it seems and connecting the dots will take Alex through many dangers, heartache and disbelief. She will even question her faith.This was labeled a "fast-paced espionage thriller" and I believe it lived up to that description. There was a lot of attention to detail and background as one reads through this book. And trying to keep up with who the "bad guys" are versus the "good guys", keeps your mind thinking throughout the story.
