In the tradition of John le Carre, the bestselling,
impossible-to-put-down, espionage thriller that is "a primer in
twenty-first century spying" ("The New York Times Book Review"),
written with the insider detail that only a veteran CIA operative
could know--and shortlisted for an Edgar Award.
State intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in
the cast-iron bureaucracy of post-Soviet intelligence. Drafted
against her will to become a "Sparrow," a trained seductress in the
service, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a
first-tour CIA officer who handles the CIA's most sensitive
penetration of Russian intelligence. The two young intelligence
officers, trained in their respective spy schools, collide in a
charged atmosphere of tradecraft, deception, and, inevitably, a
forbidden spiral of carnal attraction that threatens their careers
and the security of America's most valuable mole in Moscow. Seeking
revenge against her soulless masters, Dominika begins a fateful
double life, recruited by the CIA to ferret out a high-level
traitor in Washington; hunt down a Russian illegal buried deep in
the US military and, against all odds, to return to Moscow as the
new-generation penetration of Putin's intelligence service.
Dominika and Nathaniel's impossible love affair and twisted spy
game come to a deadly conclusion in the shocking climax of this
electrifying, up-to-the minute spy thriller.
Taking place in today's Russia, still ruled with an iron fist by
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, "Red Sparrow" displays author Jason
Matthews's insider knowledge of espionage, counter-espionage,
surveillance tradecraft, recruiting spies, interrogation, and
intelligence gathering. As "The Washington Post" hails, this is a
"sublime and sophisticated debut...a first-rate novel as noteworthy
for its superior style as for its gripping depiction of a secretive
world."
