Thriller Spy
In this gripping new work of suspense from the author of
The Double Game, a young woman discovers a nefarious
truth at the heart of the CIA's operations in postwar
Berlin and goes on the run for her life; years later she's
gruesomely murdered along with her husband, and her daughter
begins to chase down these startling secrets from her
past.
West Berlin, 1979. Helen Abell oversees the
CIA's network of safe houses, rare havens for field agents
and case officers amidst the dangerous milieu of a city in
the grips of the Cold War. Helen's world is upended when,
during her routine inspection of an agency property, she
overhears a meeting between two people unfamiliar to her
speaking a coded language that hints at shadowy realities
far beyond her comprehension. Before the day is out, she
witnesses a second unauthorized encounter, one that will
place her in the sight lines of the most ruthless and
powerful man at the agency. Her attempts to expose the dark
truths about what she has witnessed will bring about
repercussions that reach across decades and continents into
the present day, when, in a farm town in Maryland, a young
man is arrested for the double murder of his parents, and
his sister takes it upon herself to find out why he did it.
