Sobre IBD

December 1994 brings the first CIA field assignment for Daisy Parker, ex-stripper, con artist, and borderline lunatic. It is an apparently simple job: carry a package cross-country and allow it to be stolen by the Colombian drug dealer who is after it. But Daisy is not content to be a passive courier. While ceaselessly fighting with her partner, she pinpoints the Colombian and the CIA team following them, makes contact with both, nudges events towards action, and causes random chaos until she discovers the true contents of the package she carries. Then, furious at being played for a patsy, she really gets active. If agents of the CIA were all hapless bunglers (and maybe they are), you might expect their operations to turn out something like 'Decoys' (and maybe they do, more often than we know).
