Synopsis

In Eric Van Lustbader's stunning follow up to Father Night, Jack McClure faces a choice: help the woman he loves, or destroy her as the enemy she is.

Shortly after McClure leaves a late night meeting with Dennis Paull, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Paull is found—shot dead. The President is furious but equally frightened of a scandal, since Jack McClure is one of their own—an operative and Paull's friend. Who will protect the country if even McClure cannot be trusted?

With top officials in the CIA and FBI after him, McClure, still devastated over his friend's death, goes on the run. Someone framed him for Paull's murder, possibly to prevent him from accomplishing Paull's last request—a task vital to U.S. National Security. Someone in the intelligence community has gone rogue and is reporting to The Syrian, one of the most cruel, aggressive terrorists McClure and Paull have ever come across. McClure has been charged with securing the name of the mole, but when Paull's informant goes missing, McClure realizes his mission has only begun.

Jack may be setting off after a mole, but he knows that ultimately he will have to confront The Syrian. Which also means confronting The Syrian's lover, Annika Dementieva, the woman Jack once loved and lost.

On a quest to find the mole before cloaked agents around the world are exposed and murdered, Jack will soon find himself facing his own beloved enemy…

Reviews

Goodreads review by Glen on February 26, 2016

A super spy is framed for the murder of the Secretary of Defense, and has to run all over the world to clear his name. Not bad, but really not very memorable either. Certainly won't take the place of Vince Flynn. Not anywhere near as sleazy at Van Lustbader's 80's work.......more

Goodreads review by Janis on August 17, 2016

This is a good book, but you could get lost if you hadn't read the ones before it.......more

Goodreads review by Steve on February 27, 2018

Eric Van Lustbader is one of my favorite writers due to his depth of detail and fleshing out of his characters. Beloved Enemy started a bit slower then what I am use to from Lustbader but it builds momentum with lots of twists and turns which is a hallmark of his work. Well worth the read as a stand......more

Goodreads review by Neil on August 15, 2017

A decent beach read. Light with a few interesting characters. I would actually rate it 3.5 stars, better than average but not a book you can't put down......more
