“A wicked sharp spy novel…Equal parts Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Killing Eve.” –S. A. Cosby, author of Blacktop Wasteland and Razorblade Tears

An exhilarating spy thriller written by an intelligence veteran about two women CIA agents whose paths become intertwined around a threat to the Russia Division--one that's coming from inside the agency.

Lyndsey Duncan worries her career with the CIA might be over. After lines are crossed with another intelligence agent during an assignment, she is sent home to Washington on administrative leave. So when a former colleague--now Chief of the Russia Division--recruits her for an internal investigation, she jumps at the chance to prove herself. Lyndsey was once a top handler in the Moscow Field Station, where she was known as the "human lie detector" and praised for recruiting some of the most senior Russian officials. But now, three Russian assets have been exposed--including one of her own--and the CIA is convinced there's a mole in the department. With years of work in question and lives on the line, Lyndsey is thrown back into life at the agency, this time tracing the steps of those closest to her.

Meanwhile, fellow agent Theresa Warner can't avoid the spotlight. She is the infamous "Red Widow," the wife of a former director killed in the field under mysterious circumstances. With her husband's legacy shadowing her every move, Theresa is a fixture of the Russia Division, and as she and Lyndsey strike up an unusual friendship, her knowledge proves invaluable. But as Lyndsey uncovers a surprising connection to Theresa that could answer all of her questions, she unearths a terrifying web of secrets within the department, if only she is willing to unravel it....

Excellent spy thriller!

The plot and plot and it's develpoment kept me coming back. The performance was also veey good!

Great narration and realistic story line -

The narration was very well done by the reader. The story was well-developed with character developments all the way along and seem to be on par with something that could happen realistically. I look forward to reading the authors next book.

Well Performed

The narration was well done but the story itself wanted for real suspense or intrigue. The unraveling of the mystery felt forced and simultaneously under-developed. The characters had to make big leaps to further the plot.

GREAT GREAT READ

WAS NOT SURE HOW THE END WAS GOING TO GO.... BUT RICHARD WAS BROUGHT BACK FROM RUSSIA PRISON AND REUNITES WITH HIS BADASS WIFE AND SON! THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK!

Great storytelling

It was hard to hit pause and get back to sleep for 3 nights because it was so intriguing. A nice performance and satisfying ending.
