A good spy novel can be the vacation that one needs from the everyday monotony of regular life. When I was asked if I’d like to review The Eighth Sister by Robert Dugoni, I was happy to do so. This novel brings in a CIA case officer and a Russian Agent believed to be the eighth sister in a clandestine US spy cell known as the seven sisters.
This novel has a lot going on, and it’s fast-paced. Russia has its own presence in the novel, and he uses all the tools in his writers’ notebook to create engaging well-rounded characters. If you enjoy spy, thrillers, you’ll enjoy this novel.
About The Eighth Sister
Publisher: Thomas & Mercer (April 9, 2019)
A pulse-pounding thriller of espionage, spy games, and treachery by the New York Times bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite Series.
Former CIA case officer Charles Jenkins is a man at a crossroads: in his early sixties, he has a family, a new baby on the way, and a security consulting business on the brink of bankruptcy. Then his former bureau chief shows up at his house with a risky new assignment: travel undercover to Moscow and locate a Russian agent believed to be killing members of a clandestine US spy cell known as the seven sisters.
Desperate for money, Jenkins agrees to the mission and heads to the Russian capital. But when he finds the mastermind agent behind the assassinations—the so-called eighth sister—she is not who or what he was led to believe. Then again, neither is anyone else in this deadly game of cat and mouse.
Pursued by a dogged Russian intelligence officer, Jenkins executes a daring escape across the Black Sea, only to find himself abandoned by the agency he serves. With his family and freedom at risk, Jenkins is in the fight of his life—against his own country.
