Thriller Political
With a plot ripped from tomorrow’s headlines, Jason
Matthews’s high-powered, seductive third novel not only
continues the dangerous entanglements of Dominika and
Nate but reveals with chilling authenticity how Russian
espionage can place agents in the most sensitive
positions of power. The novel opens with Russian
president Vladimir Putin planning the covert
assassination of a high-ranking US official with the
intention of replacing him with a mole whom Russian
intelligence has cultivated for more than fifteen years. Catching wind of this plot, Dominika, Nate, and their CIA
colleagues must unmask the traitor before he or she is
able to reveal that Dominika has been spying for years on
behalf of the CIA. Any leak, any misstep, will expose her
as a CIA asset and result in a one-way trip to a Moscow
execution cellar. Along the way, Matthews, a thirty-
three-year veteran of the CIA and winner of the Edgar
Award for Best First Novel, sets vivid, unforgettable
scenes in Moscow; Washington, DC; Hong Kong; New York;
the Sudan; and Turkey, and introduces two cold-blooded
killers: Iosip Blokhin, a brilliant Spetsnaz military
officer, and Grace Gao, ravishing Chinese spy, master of
Kundalini yoga, and Beijing-trained seductress. Ultimately, the lines of danger converge on the
spectacular billion-dollar presidential palace on the
Black Sea during a power weekend with Putin’s inner
circle. Does Nate sacrifice himself to save Dominika?
Does she forfeit herself to protect Nate? Do they go down
together? This dazzling finale to Jason Matthews’s New York Times
bestselling Red Sparrow Trilogy, called “a primer in
twenty-first-century spying...terrifically good” (The New
York Times Book Review), confirms the critical acclaim he
received for the first two novels, praise that compared
Matthews to John le Carré and Ian Fleming. The Kremlin’s
Candidate will be published just before the 2018 release
of Red Sparrow, a major motion picture starring Jennifer
Lawrence, produced by 20th Century Fox.
