Grace Blakely is absolutely certain of three things:She is not crazy.Her mother was murdered.Someday she is going to find the killer and make him pay.As
certain as Grace is about these facts, nobody else believes her-so
there’s no one she can completely trust. Not her grandfather, a powerful
ambassador. Not her new friends, who all live on Embassy Row. Not
Alexei, the Russian boy next door who is keeping his eye on Grace for
reasons she neither likes nor understands.Everybody wants Grace
to put on a pretty dress and a pretty smile, blocking out all her
unpretty thoughts. But they can’t control Grace-no more than Grace can
control what she knows or what she needs to do. Her past has come back
to haunt her… and if she doesn’t stop it, Grace isn’t the only one who
will get hurt. Because on Embassy Row, the countries of the world stand
like dominoes-and one wrong move can make them all fall down.
