Summary
“We haven’t seen either of you in years! We just wanted to catch up with you, see how you’ve been,” Molokov interrupted her. Florence’s eyebrows rose, and she took a breath to make it clear just how much she did not mind that they had not met in so long, when Alexander suddenly moved his hand to the front of his dark suit jacket. He undid the buttons and carefully opened the jacket to show the white shirt underneath.
Well, the shirt that was supposed to be white, but instead sported a large red stain and a gash.Or:
What started as a calm morning at home for Florence and Svetlana quickly descends into chaos when Walter de Courcey and Alexander Molokov appear on their doorstep, on the run from assassination attempts by an old enemy aiming for revenge. When events spiral out of control, Florence and Svetlana are swiftly involved in the fight of their lives. As they struggle to make it out alive, one thing becomes clear: they can’t run forever – from the enemy, or from the past.

Summary
When Svetlana met Natalia, it felt like a miracle.
Natalia turned her world upside down. Natalia felt like a revelation, like everything had been leading to her. Men had looked at her with desire in the past, but she looked at Svetlana like she saw her—and she liked what she saw. Svetlana didn't stand a chance.
By the time Molokov knocked on her door, she’d had time to reckon with the whole thing. She’d had time to get angry.

Summary
Bishops have a low rating compared to rooks because, despite no limit on their range, each can only cover half the board. A dark bishop and a light bishop can get as close as they like to one another; they can never capture one another.
The American has never been one for facing consequences. After what he sees in Bangkok, he wonders if it's time for a change.
