Synopsis

The US ambassador to China is killed in a suspicious plane crash just days after a news article links Chinese spies to US business interests. The American intelligence community is left scrambling to investigate possible connections between the crash and a series of other high-profile deaths.On the other side of the world, ex-CIA operative Kera Mersal returns to the United States determined to clear her name after being branded a traitor for exposing illegal government surveillance. There, former colleague and fellow fugitive J. D. Jones contacts her with a new assignment: find out who is staging accidents to murder news sources. As the news site continues to publish stories about top-secret CIA programs and Chinese government corruption, Mersal reunites with old allies to uncover the truth and prove her loyalty to her country once and for all. But Mersal’s investigations put her on the trail of a sinister hacker whose own motives may influence a vaster—and more deadly—geopolitical conspiracy than either of the world’s two largest superpowers is prepared to handle.

The plot i......more

Goodreads review by Peter on March 19, 2019

I was with this one all the way as it looked at the flip side of the Gnos.is concept and the way it collates the drizzle of data about a certain issue from within a monsoon of unrelated data and comes up with something of significance, which it then published as fact. This is done without fear or fa......more

Goodreads review by Deborah on April 02, 2020

Received this book from a Goodreads giveaway. This was a fast good read with an interesting but scary (because it could happen) concept. Preceding the events in this story, the CIA operative, Kera Mersal, and a co-worker had discovered that the project they were working on with an illegal surveillanc......more

I read The Good Traitor after the two books by Adam Brooks(Night Heron and Spy Games) and I could not......more
