Michael Idov: The Collaborators, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Named a Best Book of the Year by Vogue Slow Horses meets Red Sparrow in this "sharp, freshly conceived, [and] thoroughly entertaining" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) spy thriller featuring a brilliant young intelligence officer and a troubled heiress who stumble into a global conspiracy that pits present-day Russia against the CIA. Combining realistic thrills with sophisticated spycraft and witty dialogue, The Collaborators delivers a gut-punch answer to the biggest geopolitical question of our time: how, exactly, did post-Soviet Russia turn down the wrong path? Crisscrossing the globe on the way to this shocking revelation are disaffected millennial CIA officer Ari Falk, thrown into a moral and professional crisis by the death of his best asset; and brash, troubled LA heiress Maya Chou, spiraling after the disappearance of her Russian American billionaire father. The duo's adventures take us to both classic and surprising locales---from Berlin, to Latvia, Belarus, and an abandoned technopark outside Moscow. Dynamic, fast-paced, and filled with captivating details that provide a window into a secretive world, The Collaborators is a first-rate thriller "with a propulsive plot and fantastic twists" (Chris Pavone, author of The Expats) that pays homage to both meanings of "intelligence."
