Vivian Miller, a CIA counterintelligence analyst, labors long hours to identify the leaders of Russian sleeper cells in America. The Agency tried unsuccessfully for years to identify the sleepers themselves and now Vivian focuses her energies on finding those running the cells—the handlers. Her investigation targets Yury, the last potential Russian operative identified by her algorithm. When accessing his laptop remotely, Vivian learns something that puts everything she holds dear in jeopardy. Faced with impossible choices and not knowing whom she can trust, Vivian agonizes over her potentially life-changing decisions.
Tautly written by a former CIA analyst, this suspenseful debut novel grabs hold and does not let go.
