Just when he's gotten used to a quieter, less hectic
lifestyle, ex-CIA "tourist" (code name for spy) Milo Weaver
is yanked back into the covert underground. Having no
choice in the matter, Milo finds he first must prove his
loyalty to the company. But Milo doesn't know who to trust
anymore. And not knowing could very well cost him his life --
or worse, the lives of those he loves.
This brilliant sequel to THE TOURIST follows ex-CIA spy
Milo Weaver on another past-paced, harrowing espionage
adventure through Eastern Europe and America. The action
never lets up in this nail-biting suspense where no one is
who they seem, and you don't know whom to believe or trust.
Milo Weaver has nowhere to turn but back to the CIA in
Olen Steinhauer’s brilliant follow-up to the New
York Times bestselling espionage novel THE TOURIST,
Steinhauer’s first contemporary novel after his award-
winning historical series.
Now faced with the end of his quiet, settled life,
reluctant spy Milo Weaver has no choice but to turn back to
his old job as a “tourist.” Before he can get back to the
CIA’s dirty work, he has to prove his loyalty to his new
bosses, who know little of Milo’s background and less about
who is really pulling the strings in the government above
the Department of Tourism — or in the outside world, which
is beginning to believe the legend of its existence. Milo
is suddenly in a dangerous position, between right and
wrong, between powerful self-interested men, between
patriots and traitors — especially as a man who has nothing
left to lose.
