Many thanks to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer, and Robert Dugoni for the opportunity to read his latest book. While Russian spy novels might not typically be my go-to choice, it's Robert Dugoni! I will read anything by him. If you haven't read his books - you are totally missing out. Plus, this is the start of a new series - more to look forward to!
Charles Jenkins is happy running a security firm, living on a farm in Seattle with his wife, Alex, who is pregnant, and son CJ. Life would be good except for the fact that his client is over late paying bills amounting to over $50,000, meaning Charles can't meet his payroll. Alex's pregnancy is complicated as well, leading to more worries. Charles was in the CIA decades ago but when his old handler came to see him to ask him to do an undercover mission in Russia to save the lives of women working as US spies. Charles can speak Russian and was skilled in his old CIA life, so he was the perfect person. The fact that he would get much needed payment for the job made it impossible to resist. An exciting thrill ride ensues as Charles tries to stay one step ahead of the FSB (the modern day KGB). The second part of the book is courtroom drama - none the less exciting.
Enough said - great read and an exciting start to a new series!
