Alexis Markham has operated under an alias for the past six years. She lives an untraceable life in New Orleans thanks to the protection of longtime family friend George. Years ago, Alexis' father, Rudolph Baker, worked for the Department of Defense. He was assigned to develop a biotoxin bomb and was threatening to go public about its deadly consequences when he, Alexis' mother, and her older brother were killed. Alexis, or Lexie, back then, was saved only because she was not home. Fast forward to the present, and Alexis is in danger, however well she has hidden her past. Alain DuBois and his host of "bad guys" think she has her father's formula for that deadly Omega bomb. Tucker Flynn, well-connected super sleuth, is assigned to guard Alexis; and it's good that Tucker has friends in government espionage, for everywhere he and Alexis go, houses they stay in are blown up and people's lives endangered.

Deep Disclosure is well written and has good action. The plot proceeds logically with the twists and turns that make romantic spy novels so popular. The intrigue that makes this genre good is first rate here, and characters are well developed. Alexis, for instance, has weaknesses that make her appealing and her character believable. That she keeps her old pink and purple backpack filled with a few childhood keepsakes in a safe deposit box is a great literary device. That the Omega formula is in a copy of her mother's favorite book adds to Deep Disclosure's appeal. That her father is the "bad guy" makes the book's conclusion weak. If he, Alexis mother and her brother were killed, why was his body never found? A missing body makes accepting his guilt easier and the book's conclusion more acceptable.
