Synopsis

Who owns the most powerful man in the world?

Her code name is Kingfisher. Her mission: to seduce and marry a man of wealth and political influence. Now she must protect a terrifying secret. 

October 2016: In America, the election is a few weeks away. Journalist Grace Elliott has just landed a scoop that she believes will make her career. A porn star is willing to talk about her affair with the man some hope and many fear will become the next president of the United States. But no one will touch it. Not even Grace's boss, the right-wing publisher of America's leading tabloid. Instead, Grace is sent to Europe where she discovers a story so big, so explosive that it could decide the American election and launch a new Cold War. As long as she can stay alive long enough to tell it. 

Spies, murder, and one of the biggest conspiracies of our time lie at the heart of this immersive thriller.

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on October 13, 2018

I got this from a book blogger friend who didn't say a thing about it, just said read it. It's well-written, a page turner, and like a cup of hot wine at the end of a day of political news. I know it's only a novel but it's made me see everything that's going on in the white house differently. Great......more

Fact or Fiction? ‘He was the most ambitious, least disciplined man in New York. There were no secrets with him. He said aloud every thought that arrived in his brain, to anyone, and a good number of these thoughts were lies.’ (The Kingfisher Secret) A week ago I first heard about a book called The Ki......more

Goodreads review by Annabel on October 17, 2018

I took a day off work to finish this. What (scary) fun. "If even a hint of this were true," you're thinking, knowing that it certainly could be in these crazy times. Great double heroines in Grace and Elena, which we frankly don't see enough of in these sorts of books - a mash-up of James Bond, The......more

Goodreads review by Ron on October 11, 2018

There’s a wee bit of fun in the way various real-life characters are recast in “The Kingfisher Secret.” Stormy Daniels becomes Violet Rain, for instance, and Ivana Trump is obviously the reluctant agent Elena. We don’t see much of Anthony Craig, but when he appears, “struggling to keep his mop of ha......more

Quotes

“A tantalizing new thriller . . . there is great house-of-mirrors fun to be had.”
—Globe and Mail

“Ripped from the headlines and inspired by tales, speculation and whispers from within the intelligence community, [this is a] . . . highly charged novel of intrigue and deception."
—PR Newswire

“In an era when our credulity is stretched daily by political stories . . . the idea that a president’s former wife was trained by the KGB to trap a man with political aspirations might not be so hard to believe. The narrative jumps locales as often and as quickly as a private jet in a time warp.”
—Toronto Star

“[A] suggestive thriller . . . There are lots of twists and turns, red herrings, and characters to follow . . . even when truth is stranger than fiction, this bit of fiction is satisfyingly offbeat.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Eventful storytelling and disguised larger-than-life characters.”
—The Guardian

“A political thriller that is at once entertaining, frightening, and thought-provoking.”
—Calgary Herald

“In Macintyre’s account, perhaps no one since Igor Gouzenko himself supplied more priceless information about Soviet operations, aims and fears. Or ever provided so enthralling a true-spy story.”
—Maclean’s
