CLEAR LAKE, Iowa, Oct. 30, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- In "Assignment: Reno, Nevada" (now available through 1stBooks), the compelling new novel by author Elizabeth Jung, Joe Collins, an undercover CIA agent, is murdered amid the glittery lights of Reno, Nev. Coming to town to settle Joe's affairs, Johnny Collins, his brother and also a CIA agent, finds a striking similarity between his brother's murder and others in the area and sets out to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Joe's death and other deaths in the area turn out to be connected to the antique trade in Reno. Clandestine Russian involvement throws a twist into the plot, with Russian operatives searching for important antique items that are accidentally sent to a Reno antique mall. As Johnny works with the police, he realizes the cops have more information than they are disclosing. Joe's friends are also more complex than Johnny first believed.
In the center of the colorful city, complete with its small-scale motels and antique market, Johnny finds himself in an intricate web of mystery. Unable to trust anyone, he uncovers clues one by one. Author Jung blends all the clues together to form a suspenseful thriller of international plots, deception and deep family ties.
Jung's work is gripping and is written for readers looking for thought-provoking and descriptive stories of intrigue.
An Iowa native, Jung has traveled and lived throughout the United States and Europe. She holds a degree in business administration and has three children. Her previous novels include The Budapest Connection, Game Between Spies and Project Eve.
