title: A Time For Legends
author:  Norma Beishir 
description: Beishir ( Angels at Midnight ) pens a winner with this gripping thriller. Jaimeok Lynde's father has been missing for 19 years, and when she learns of his covert career in the OSS and the CIA, she becomes convinced that he is alive and his whereabouts concealed for sinister reasons. The plot elements are familiar: obfuscating CIA operatives; an agent who vanishes into deep cover; an elaborate official cover story; and people who begin to die under mysterious circumstances. But Beishir's galloping pace revitalizes these g standbys, and she confidently builds to a revelatory and spellbinding finale. And in the midst of all the intrigue, a romance develops for Jaime--but the sex is more slow burn than Beishir's trademark high sizzle, as if Beishir herself was too involved in the moves and countermoves of espionage to concentrate on bedroom dramas. <br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  For the boat rockers, the rulebreakers, and the troublemakers. No one ever
  became a legend by blending in.
