Synopsis

In the exhilarating tradition of I Am Pilgrim comes a sprawling, international high-stakes thriller that pits the intelligence of one man against one of the most successful spies ever to operate against American interests—“one of 2018’s hottest debuts!” (The Real Book Spy).

When a young Israeli walks into an American embassy and offers to betray his country for money and power, he has no idea that the CIA agent interviewing him is a Russian mole. Years later, the Israeli has risen in the ranks to become a trusted advisor to Israel’s prime minister and throughout his career, he’s been forced to share everything with the Kremlin.

Now, however, a hint that there may be a traitor in the highest realms of power has slipped out and a top-secret team is put together to hunt him down. The chase leads the team from the streets of Tel Aviv to deep inside the Russian zone and, finally, to the United States, where a most unique spymaster is revealed. The final showdown—between the traitor and the betrayed—can only be resolved by an act of utter treachery that could have far-reaching and devastating consequences for all of humanity.

What a fascinating read! Not only is the author an enigma, but the story is so good and well written. It hooked me from the first chapter. This book will rocket to the top of the charts, in my opinion. It reads like Daniel Silva, but it has the action of a Thor novel. I loved it, and I couldn't put......more

Goodreads review by Jill Elizabeth on January 09, 2018

This was a little slow-moving for a self-proclaimed "thriller" - but no less entertaining for that pace... In fact, it felt a little like the subject investigation that forms the background of the novel - methodical, turning over every detail to find connections, until suddenly things all click and......more

Goodreads review by Audrey on February 16, 2018

4.5 - thoughtful thriller, and no, that's not an oxymoron. In the tradition of Le Carre at his best, with buildup of characters and their backstories, the complex motivations behind espionage and betrayal, then the methodical chase and the unexpected twists. Highly enjoyable. I hope he writes more. T......more
