781. White Heat (Cherry Adair)

Synopsis from Amazon Canada:
Emily Greene met Max Aries at a party in Florence. The two left early and spent the next few days in a steamy romantic tryst. Then Max disappeared. Now he's back, investigating the alleged suicide of his father—and Emily's professional mentor—artist and art restorer Daniel Aries, whose death turns out to be connected to a series of mysterious murders and bombings of religious sites. Unbeknownst to Daniel's clients, Emily has actually been doing most of Daniel's work for the last few years, and she now finds herself tangled up in a deadly game of international terrorism.

My rating: 2 stars

My review: Predictable plot with an annoying heroine who acts hysterical. There are also some inconsistencies -- how does T-FLAC have such access??? If the Pentagon contracts out finding terrorists, it's no wonder we aren't winning the war on terror. In general, I don't like techno-thrillers. There's always too much techno and not enough thriller. Not one of Cherry Adair's better books.
