Praise for Claire Berlinski's Loose Lips " This looks like an insider's account. Claire Berlinski does a marvelous job of portraying a young woman plunged into a culture most Americans find hard to understand. It's an honest book. It should be read by anyone intending to work for the CIA." - Robert Baer, former CIA case officer " Claire Berlinski's Selena Keller is one part Inspector Clouseau and one part Nancy Drew, with a touch of Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw thrown in. Berlinski makes central intelligence funny and endearing and (go figure) intelligent." - Meghan Daum, author of My Misspent Youth " Funny and smart . . . will hold your attention till the end and make you wish for a sequel." - People " Wickedly funny . . . What first looks like a light summer read turns out to be a chilling, absorbing story." - The Washington Post Book World " This juicy read will have you turning pages at a feverish pace." - Cosmopolitan, " Hot Summer Reads", Praise for Claire Berlinski's Loose Lips "This looks like an insider's account.

Synopsis
Of Claire Berlinski's marvelous debut novel, Loose Lips-a perfect blend of satire, romance, and suspense featuring a young female CIA operative-book critic Frank Bascombe observed: It's more than a little obvious that protagonist] Selena Keller is Claire Berlinski. Despite her assertions to the contrary, Berlinski isn't above poking fun at that notion in her hilarious and intriguing new novel. In Lion Eyes, a fictional Claire-the author of a novel about love among young CIA trainees-is unsuccessfully dodging a deadly Paris heat wave and her even deadlier ex-boyfriend. When she receives an e-mail from an Iranian admirer who wonders how to obtain a copy of Loose Lips in his native city of Esfahan, Claire wastes no time in replying. Her correspondence with the mysterious stranger, Arsalan-whose name means the Lion in Persian-quickly becomes personal, then intimate . . . then obsessive. As Claire heads to Istanbul to find relief from the heat, her electronic flirtation with Arsalan begins, inevitably, to consume her. The boundary between reality and her imagination blurs and then disappears. The Lion, meanwhile, is nurturing his own powerful fantasies about the author. To satisfy their growing passion, they agree to meet, back in Paris, but Claire soon learns that someone is secretly intercepting their communications. Suddenly, Claire's romantic dreams start to dissolve. As events take an unimagined turn, and as life begins menacingly to imitate art, Claire discovers that the Lion is not who she thinks he is. Clever and witty, Lion Eyes showcases intriguing characters, exotic locales, snappy double entendres, clever spy games, and the forbidden pleasure of reading other people's mail. Claire Berlinski (the real Claire Berlinshi, that is) expertly plots out chance and chase, love and lies, and brings it all together with intelligence, counterintelligence, and a dossier full of humor., Of Claire Berlinski's marvelous debut novel, Loose Lips- a perfect blend of satire, romance, and suspense featuring a young female CIA operative- book critic Frank Bascombe observed: " It's more than a little obvious that [protagonist] Selena Keller is Claire Berlinski."
