In Olen Steinhauer's bestseller The Tourist , reluctant CIA agent
Milo Weaver uncovered a conspiracy linking the Chinese government to the
highest reaches of the American intelligence community, including his
own Department of Tourism---the most clandestine department in the
Company. The shocking blowback arrived in the Hammett Award--winning The
Nearest Exit when the Department of Tourism was almost completely wiped
out as the result of an even more insidious plot.Following on
the heels of these two spectacular novels comes An American Spy , Olen
Steinhauer's most stunning thriller yet. With only a handful of
"tourists"--CIA-trained assassins--left, Weaver would like to move on
and use this as an opportunity to regain a normal life, a life focused
on his family. His former boss in the CIA, Alan Drummond, can't let it
go. When Alan uses one of Milo's compromised aliases to travel to London
and then disappears, calling all kinds of attention to his actions,
Milo can't help but go in search of him.Worse still, it's beginning to look as if Tourism's enemies are gearing up for a final, fatal blow.With
An American Spy , Olen Steinhauer, by far the best espionage writer in a
generation, delivers a searing international thriller that will settle
once and for all who is pulling the strings and who is being played.
