In Olen Steinhauer’s bestseller The Tourist,
reluctant CIA agent Milo Weaver uncovered a conspiracy
linking the Chinese government to the highest reaches of the
American intelligence community, including his own
Department of Tourism---the most clandestine department in
the Company. The shocking blowback arrived in the Hammett
Award--winning The Nearest Exit when the Department
of Tourism was almost completely wiped out as the result of
an even more insidious plot.
Following on the heels
of these two spectacular novels comes An American
Spy, Olen Steinhauer’s most stunning thriller yet. With
only a handful of “tourists”—CIA-trained assassins—left,
Weaver would like to move on and use this as an opportunity
to regain a normal life, a life focused on his family. His
former boss in the CIA, Alan Drummond, can’t let it go. When
Alan uses one of Milo’s compromised aliases to travel to
London and then disappears, calling all kinds of attention
to his actions, Milo can’t help but go in search of
him.
Worse still, it's beginning to look as if
Tourism's enemies are gearing up for a final, fatal
blow.
With An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer,
by far the best espionage writer in a generation, delivers a
searing international thriller that will settle once and for
all who is pulling the strings and who is being played.
