The Florentine Exchange

During a sultry summer in Florence, Italy, rule-following Libby must make an information exchange when her mentor, Antonia, sprains her ankle. But then she discovers Antonia had two identical thumb drives. Was Antonia planning to give the wrong one to her contact? Libby must make split-second decisions while her own life is on the line. Clever spy thriller The Florentine Exchange transports readers to the sticky sumer humidity and historical beauty of Italy and keeps them on the edge of their seats, as only accomplished writer Dayle A. Dermatis can do. The Florentine Exchange originally appeared in Fiction River Special Edition: Spies, 2019, and was reprinted in Voices Carry, and Other Stories of Women and Crime, 2020.
