Reviews "Designed to resemble a Gossip Girl entry, this enticingly trashy entrant into the yearly teen beach read sweepstakes attempts to do for lower Manhattan what the Cecily von Ziegesar books have done for the Upper East Side." Publishers Weekly About the Author J. Minter is the writer and former columnist for Seventeen magazine. He lives in New York City.

When it''s time to start thinking about college, which campuses do New York City''s five hottest guys visit first? Ones where the girls outnumber the guys, obviously. On a road trip to Vassar, Jonathan is astonished to discover that his brother, Ted, is now considered cool. Mickey decides to turn the camera on himself-sans clothing. Arno finds his first love . . . he just needs to figure out where she went. Patch is searching for the perfect college for himself and Greta-but are they destined to be together? And David finds an amazing girlfriend . . . until she moves in with his family. If getting into college looks complicated from the outside, just imagine how wild it is for an Insider!

It''s that time of year in New York: one of the city''s premier magazines is compiling its annual "Hottest Private School Boy" issue. Jonathan, Mickey, David, Arno, and Patch all figure they''re shoo-ins, but will the competition to be chosen as the cover model tear the guys apart? Add to that a few twists and turns in their love lives, a visit from an internationally acclaimed photographer (whose specialty happens to be nude crowd shots), and an invasion by a clique of Upper East Side It Girls, and the Insiders might find themselves clamoring for a way out.

They''ve loved, lost, and totally obsessed, and now the Insiders'' girls are out for revenge . . . which means turning the Insiders into real boyfriends. Meet:Flan-the youngest and the ringleader.

Najah, after infiltrating the Mafia as part of Project Insiders, is continuing her perilous mission: to identify the leaders of the High Council of organised crime syndicates. She finds herself in Moscow with her boss, Sam Nachez. Danger is everywhere, though. The Council's chief of security still suspects her, Russia is plagued with ultra-violent power struggles ...and even her guerrilla past could catch up with her at any time -

Identified as a former Chechen guerrilla fighter, Najah has been arrested by the FSB, the successor to the old KGB, and sent to a prison colony in Siberia the infamous gulag. Isolated, hated by the Russian guards, the Insider is far from the luxury life her cover inside organised crime afforded her. Meanwhile, the power plays continue between the mafia, politicians and the intelligence services of Russia, the United States ... and elsewhere.

Najah's been exfiltrated from the gulag where Russian authorities had thrown her, but she's not out of the woods yet: her benefactors turn out to be Chinese intelligence - the head of which is also one of the secret bosses of the organized crime high council! While the long arm of American justice closes in on her own boss Sam Nachez, the beautiful Insider begins to doubt the usefulness of her mission - has she not done enough already?
