Description
A fast-paced, fashionable, and "intriguing novel [that] may not be as far-fetched as you think" from the author of Spy in a Little Black Dress (Kitty Kelley, New York Times bestselling author of Jackie Oh!).
Young Jacqueline Bouvier's first CIA assignment was supposed to be simple: Meet with a high-ranking Russian while he's in Paris and help him defect. But when the Comrade ends up dead, and Jackie-in her black satin peep-toe stiletto heels-barely escapes his killer, it's time to get some assistance. Enter Jacques Rivage, a French photographer and freelance CIA agent who seems too brash and carefree to grapple with spies, though he's all too able to make Jackie's heart skip a beat.
Together the two infiltrate 1951 high society in the City of Lights, rubbing shoulders with the likes of the Duchess of Windsor, Audrey Hepburn, and Evelyn Waugh. Jackie, no longer a pampered debutante, draws on her quick intelligence, equestrian skills, and even her Chanel No. 5 atomizer as a weapon to stay alive in the shadowy world of international intrigue-and to keep her date with a certain up-and-coming, young Congressman from Massachusetts . . .

For the first in a light espionage series, the pseudonymous Kenneth (the writing team of Maxine Schnall and Kenneth Salikof) have used a reference in a letter Jacqueline Bouvier once wrote as the foundation for an alternate reality that puts Jackie to work for the CIA as an undercover agent. In 1951, family friend Allen Dulles taps Jackie to travel to Paris to help persuade a potential Russian defector to work for the U.S. She's soon busy escaping a relentless assassin, who, conveniently, fails to do her in when he has ample opportunity. Despite splashes of wry cleverness ("Jacqueline Lee Bouvier wasn't exactly dressed for discovering a corpse"), the authors choose to depict Jackie as something of an airhead, who, for example, neglects to take the lens cap off her camera before shooting pictures. Cameos by celebrities of the day, from Audrey Hepburn to François Truffaut, will charm some, but others will have trouble with the plot's leaps of logic.

In this fun spy romp, none other than Jacqueline Lee Bouvier is graduating from college in 1951. Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, she is thrilled when Allen Dulles, deputy director of the newly established CIA, offers her a special assignment in Paris. Having studied at the Sorbonne, Jackie is confident and intrigued, but when a simple defection devolves into multiple murders, she calls for backup. Jacques Rivage is a photographer who does contract work for the CIA and is just a few years older than Jackie, and they make a good team personally as well as professionally. This highly enjoyable first collaboration between author Maxine Schnall and screenwriter Kenneth Salikof offers plenty of cameo appearances by luminaries of the post-WWII social and political scenes, including the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Christian Dior, and Marlene Dietrich. The planned sequel, titled Havana to Die For, will continue Jackie's story as the CIA maneuvers to get a promising young politician, John F. Kennedy, on its side.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
