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
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: High Treason
Book Author: Diann Mills
What do you like about this book:
"Whoever pulled the trigger has 'professional' stamped on his training."
Saudi Prince Omar Bin Talal's personal bodyguard has been just been killed with a single shot. Tasked with the prince's safety, FBI Agent Kord Davidson and CIA operative Monica Alden are at a loss when it comes to explaining how it happened, since no one knew the prince's exact schedule upon arrival in Houston with his family. Suspecting an inside job, fueled by international unrest, the team pursues a minimal number of leads without garnering a single suspect. Nothing is gained by the fact that Kord and Monica have to work through their own inter-agency issues; Kord with his deep personal ties to the prince and his slain guard; Monica battling to prove her expertise among high ranking Middle Eastern men.
As the days slip by, and other attempts are thwarted, it becomes clear to Kord and Monica that someone is willing to commit high treason, while their team appears helpless to stop them.
Give high praise to Diann Mills' third "FBI Task Force" novel with its continual motion, and a lovely hint of romance and spiritual renewal.
