With secret societies and international intrigue, this book is a fun, fast-paced combination of teen fiction and international spy thriller. Grace, the granddaughter of the powerful U.S. ambassador, has returned to Adria's Embassy Row for the first time since her mother died. And her family is worried because she is convinced that her mother was murdered by a man with a scar and she is certain she has seen him (this time for real). In a place where the cute boy next door just happens to be Russian, not to mention her brother's best friend, there are plenty of ways a slightly reckless teenager could cause an international incident. Especially since Grace is most certainly not okay. Grace and her new friends from The Row dive into a world of intrigue, secret societies and unravel the secrets of Adria and the truth of her mother's death.Publisher description:
