I read The Eighth Sister and thought it his best and my favorite (I’ve also read his Tracy Crosswhite series), but this one… No one–NO one–can do an espionage spy thriller like Dugoni.

The enemy who once pursued Jenkins across three continents is now the only man Jenkins can trust.Įvery step of the way-from Moscow to Scandinavia to the open ocean-they’re hunted by a brutal Russian agent on a killer quest of his own. Next move: blackmail Viktor Federov, a former Russian officer with his own ax to grind, into helping him infiltrate Lefortovo. To find out, Jenkins must return to Russia. If it’s Paulina Ponomayova, the agent who sacrificed her life to save his, Jenkins can’t leave her behind. Then he learns of a woman isolated in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo Prison. Exonerated, bitter, and safe, the retired family man is through with duplicitous spy games.
