You’re a CIA analyst, well respected and regarded by your employer, married for ten years and a mother of four children.
At work one day, you are directed to hack a Russian criminal’s computer. It’s not an easy task but you eventually succeed and are stunned to find details and photographs of 5 deep-cover Russian spies living in America looking back at you. One of which is your husband.
This is a great start to a novel that races along with our main character thrown into a maelstrom of lies, loyalty, and impossible choices.
Brilliant stuff.
From James' list on spy reads by real life spies.
