"When People’s Republic Flight 91 crashes in northeastern Ukraine with a U.S. diplomatic agent on board, U.S. Diplomatic Security Service Agent Raisa Jordan is sent to investigate. The agent was escorting a prisoner home from Guangzhou, China, along with sensitive documents, and it quickly becomes apparent that the plane was intentionally downed. Was it to silence the two Americans on board?
To avoid a diplomatic incident, Jordan must discover what the Americans knew that was worth killing hundreds to cover up. With Russia deeply entangled in the Ukraine and the possibility that China could be hiding reasons to bring down its own plane, tensions are high.
As international relations and even more lives hang in the balance, Jordan races to stop a new Cold War. RED SKY, Chris Goff's pulse-pounding follow-up to Dark Waters, is yet another white-knuckle joyride for fans of Gayle Lynds."
"Chris Goff begins RED SKY at a fast pace and doesn’t slow down until the last page is turned...." — Joe Epley, Military Writers Society of America
“Breathtaking suspense, do not miss RED SKY.” — Catherine Coulter, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil's Triangle
"A fine sequel to 2015’s Dark Waters." — Publishers Weekly
"Jordan makes a fine lead character. Give this to readers who like Matthew Palmer’s blend of diplomacy and thrills."
— Booklist
"Goff excels in setting the hook..." — Kirkus Reviews
"Suspenseful and entertaining. Chris Goff writes with a sure hand and knows how to keep the reader turning the pages... Add her name to the growing list of excellent female thriller writers such as Taylor Stevens, Jamie Freveletti and Zoe Sharp." — Deadly Pleasures
"Thriller fans rejoice. No one writes better high stakes international suspense than Chris Goff."

"Absolutely masterful...Goff’s novel is filled with non-stop action and is very accurate in portraying the delicate political situation in the Middle East."
— Manhattan Book Review
Raisa “Rae” Jordan, an agent for the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service, isn't in Israel for more than a day before her predecessor is assassinated in a Tel Aviv square. Assigned to investigate, she must also protect Judge Ben Taylor and his teenage daughter, who may be the next targets. They are most certainly being threatened by a desperate cadre of terrorists with their sights set on the Secretary of State's upcoming visit. But is an attack on the Secretary of State all that they have planned or is that just the beginning?
There are no protocols for this kind of a situation, and following the rules is exactly the kind of thing that could get the Taylors killed. To subvert an attack that could crush the fledgling peace in the Middle East, Jordan must trust her instincts and bring together a contentious team of agents from Israel, the U.S., and the Palestinian territories to uncover a conspiracy years in the making.
With millions of lives hanging in the balance, Dark Waters, Chris Goff's explosive thriller, is a series debut that mirrors global headlines and will have readers frantically turning pages.

More Praise for DARK WATERS!
"DARK WATERS by Chris Goff is an intricate thriller which keeps the reader guessing to the very end. Set in Israel and the West Bank, the action keeps us moving as Diplomatic Security Services Agent Raisa Jordan works to protect her American charges while unraveling a terrorist plot scheduled to coincide with peace talks in the region. Arrayed against her are a boss concerned mainly with his own career, a coworker who despises her, Israeli Shin Bet agents, Palestinians, ultra-conservative Jews, and terrorists bent on disrupting the region. Add a Russian spy, a traitor among the Israeli police, and the U.S. Marines and we have the makings of a read that will keep you turning pages." — Betsy Beard, Military Writers Society of America
