Green Desert: Accidental Spy Adventures, #0

By Lada Ray

Being in the right place at just the wrong time is my specialty. I mastered this fine art to perfection. My name is Jade Snow, and four days ago I arrived in Iraq for a documentary of a lifetime.

 

Despite its small size, the riveting and thought-provoking GREEN DESERT, Accidental Spy Adventure Series prequel novelette, packs a lot of action and twists throughout.

A young American journalist Jade Snow lands in Baghdad at the height of the Iraqi war, on her first serious international assignment. Against advice, she leaves the safety of the Green Zone and gets caught up in a suicide bombing of an American convoy. As the fire ravages the site of the deadly attack, a small boy hands Jade a letter from the suicide bomber, his last testament from the grave. 

Before all the clues are erazed, the race to uncover the real truth someone's covering up, begins. Jade must trace the tragic life and psychological state of the young Iraqi terrorist, which leads her to a shocking discovery of not only the tragedy of war, but also of an impossible karmic link between the bomber and an American sergeant killed in his attack – two mortal enemies, who in another life could've been friends.

In the next full-sized novel STEPFORD, USA (Accidental Spy Small Town Adventure #1), now married and pregnant, Jade Snow lands in an idyllic and restful town hiding a hideous conspiracy, an ugly crime for which an innocent man was sent to jail. Amid death, danger and buried secrets, Jade must uncover the uncomfortable truths, bring closure to the victim and free the wrongly accused!

 

In the following bestselling novel GOLD TRAIN (Accidental Spy Russia Adventure #2), Jade Snow, on a quest to rekindle her practically dead international journalist career, goes to Russia, to discover not only the alluring mystery of the world's largest treasure, the lost Gold of the Russian Empire, but also a shocking international conspiracy that could trigger WWIII. On top of it, she finds something she was never looking for, a passionate star-crossed relationship with the man who'll become her destiny!

 

In the following adventure, the novel DRAGON GATE (Accidental Spy Asia Adventure #3 - unfinished), Jade is called to solve a mystery which will reveal a deeply layered world-shattering international conspiracy, well-hidden in the most unlikely of places. Amid spies, secrets and lies, some inspiring truths are brought to light, and another unexpected, yet divinely-guided encounter with destiny develops, culminating in a major sacrifice Jade must make for love!

2007, Iraq

He looked up and wiped the sweat streaming down his face with a trembling hand. Eight a.m. Baghdad sun knew no mercy even at this hour. He must concentrate, just a few more minutes! He stood next to his shabby, dusty Corolla, with faded taxi markings on it. The alley was deserted and deathly quiet, as expected. But just down the hill, barely thirty meters away and fully visible from his vantage point, was the intersection of the busiest road in the city.

Almost time. They should be here any moment. 

He took an envelope out of his pocket and almost decided to leave it by the gate of the nearest house, securing it with a rock, when he saw an American press crew - a cameraman and a tall, slim woman, disguised as a man (who was she kidding?) - setting up their camera next to the intersection.

He simply couldn't believe his luck! Allah is merciful, he hasn’t deserted him in this hour of judgment! He cast a quick glance around, and another stroke of luck! A young boy, no more than eight or nine, rounded the corner, carrying a heavy jug of water, and made his way through the alley.

Hey, boy! Come here, little boy, he called, waving temptingly his
