During the Arab Spring, an American spy's final mission goes
dangerously awry in this explosive and "remarkable debut" (Joseph
Kanon, New York Times bestselling author) from a former CIA officer
that is perfect for fans of John LeCarre, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and
Alan Furst. Shane Collins, a world-weary CIA spy, is ready to come
in from the cold. Stationed in Bahrain off the coast of Saudi
Arabia for his final tour, he's anxious to dispense with his
mission--uncovering Iranian support for the insurgency against the
monarchy. But then he meets Almaisa, a beautiful and enigmatic
artist, and his eyes are opened to a side of Bahrain most expats
never experience, to questions he never thought to ask. When his
trusted informant becomes embroiled in a murder, Collins finds
himself drawn deep into the conflict and his growing romance with
Almaisa upended. In an instant, he's caught in the crosshairs of a
revolution. Drawing on all his skills as a spymaster, he must
navigate a bloody uprising, win Almaisa's love, and uncover the
murky border where Bahrain's secrets end and America's begin. "A
breathless tour-de-force, the perfect spy tale" (Ian Caldwell,
author of The Fifth Gospel) and dripping with authenticity, The
Peacock and the Sparrow is a timely story of the elusiveness of
truth, the power of love and belief, and the universal desire to be
part of a cause greater than oneself.
