A delightful book - one you will thoroughly enjoy - a keeper. Lucy Parks Hamilton is a wife and a stay-a-home San Francisco mom. She has a secret - one not even her husband knows. Original Sin A Sally Sin Adventure Beth McMullen Hyperion July 2011 On the surface Lucy Hamilton is an ordinary wife and mother. She spends her days taking care of her son Theo. They go to the park, the zoo, play cars on the floor and watch Sesame Street - he is her whole life - nothing else matters.. Lucy's like was not always this ordinary. She is Sally Sin - Agent 26 - working for the United States Agency for Weapons of Mass Destruction (USAWMD). She is a licensed to kill gun-toting spy. She resigned (or so she thought) when she married William Wilton Hamilton II and moved to the suburbs to raise their son. Lucy joined USAWMD at a very early age. First just doing analytical work and later as Sally Sin - Agent 26. Her boss Simon Still literally throws her to the wolfs - sending her to every hot spot on the globe. The Agency is plagued by a turn-around agent who has gone to the dark side. Ian Blackford is one of the best the Agency has ever had. He went from being the star to being a premier International illegal arms dealer .There is also the problem of the Blind Monk (not really blind) another high illegal arms dealer the Agency has been trying to capture for years. Is Blackford and the Monk working against each other or with each other? Sally Sin is sent to find out what they are really up to. Blackford seems to be everywhere Sally goes. He kidnaps her several times - always threatening to kill her. How does he know about her assignments and why is he singling her out? Sally is good at her job and Blackford is always interfering with her mission. Word gets around that Blackford is dead. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief (especially Simon). He can relax a little and concentrate on finding. the Blind Monk. Sally has had enough of this spy business and resigns. She meets Will and gets married. Her life is ideal - no one knows her secret. She is content to be an ordinary housewife and mother, and wants only to be part of the moms-crowd at the park. Simon Still re-enters Lucy like unexpectedly. Ian Blackford is not dead - he has been living under the Agency's radar. . He is working with the local University Professor on a secret project. Lucy's (Sally) job is to lure him out in the open and find out what he is really up to. Lucy is reluctant to return to her old ways but has no choice. Once a spy - always a spy. What will happen if her husband finds out who she really is - will she lose everything? One must read the book to learn how Lucy goes from a housewife to again being a deadly spy. Are her skills still sharp or has she grown rusty? She is caught in the middle as she races against time to save herself, her family and, of course, the world. Highly recommended.
