The Zazan Puzzle Jim Lacey

The Zazan Puzzle is an entertaining page-turner. Ex-navy pilot Jenny Jackson is sent to Wyndham University in Connecticut as a fledgling federal agent, but her bossy senior partner is not much into sharing information, and Jenny finds herself in a puzzle with some of the pieces missing. What she took to be an assignment protecting a controversial Latin American poet turns out to include an assassination plot at the Wyndham graduation, the shipment of cocaine and hazardous material on an attack submarine, strange goings-on at the American Embassy in Switzerland, and murder in a Manhattan art gallery. The Zazan Puzzle is cheerful, romantic at times, and full of surprises.
