When Saudi Prince Omar bin Talal visits Houston to seek cancer treatment for his mother, an attempt on his life puts all agencies on high alert. FBI Special Agent Kord Davidson is the lead on the prince’s protective detail because of their long-standing friendship, but he’s surprised—and none too happy—when the CIA brings one of their operatives, Monica Alden, in on the task force after the assassination attempt.
Kord and Monica must quickly put aside interagency squabbles, however, when they learn the prince has additional motives for his visit—plans to promote stronger ties with the US and encourage economic growth and westernization in his own country. Plans that could easily incite a number of suspects both in the US and in countries hostile to Saudi Arabia. Worse yet, the would-be assassin always seems to be one step ahead of them, implicating someone close to the prince—or the investigation. But who would be willing to commit high treason, and can Kord and Monica stop them in time?

Summary
Review of High Treason by Diann Mills. This is a book in the FBI task force novel series. It’s only January but I am confident this will make my top books of 2018. Monica is in my top five best female characters. She’s a CIA operative and extremely skilled. The author sprinkles in information from her past to explain some of her trust issues. She is assigned to work with Kord who works for the FBI. Kord is working the protective detail for a prince because of his past history with him. Kord had a very interesting background also including his history with the prince and the princess bodyguards. There were plenty of plot twist in action to keep your heart racing in your mind working overtime trying to figure out who was in on the assassination attempts. I would love for Cord and Monica to get their own series even. They could have some major events and storylines.
I highly recommend this book and I’m going back to find any Diane Mills books that I’ve not read. The book cover is perfect once you finish the story.
