A dazzling new spy thriller about a female CIA agent whose
extraordinary powers lead her into the dangerous heart of the
collapsing Soviet Union – and the path of a killer that shouldn't
exist. Minsk, 1990. The Soviet Union is crumbling. The scavengers
and predators are gathering, eager to pick the meat off the bones
of a dying empire. THE SPY: Melvina Donleavy is part of a US trade
delegation... and on her first undercover mission with the CIA. Mel
has a secret skill: she is a 'super recognizer', someone who never
forgets a face. She is the CIA's early warning system, on watch for
hostile agents trying to extract fissionable materials from the
moribund USSR. THE SERIAL KILLER: On the streets of Minsk, women
are being strangled. Many more have disappeared. The Soviet Union
is not a gentle place for women and too many men are capable of
such violence, but the truth is worse: just one man is responsible.
Worse still, the authorities will never admit to his existence –
serial killers, after all, are a symptom of capitalist decadence.
And now he has a new target... THE SPY HUNTER: Chairman of the
BSSR's KGB, recipient of the Hero of the Soviet Union medal, the
Order of Lenin, the Medal for Valour, the Order of the Patriotic
War and the Order of the Red Star. They say you never hear his
footsteps until he's carrying your coffin. And now he has a new
target... The Cold War may be coming to a close, but Mel is in
danger of being obliterated by its fallout. Whichever way she
turns, the wolves are gathering. Reviews for Black Wolf: 'Kathleen
Kent slays it with Black Wolf, a propulsive page-turner chock full
of juicy spy game goodies. Simply masterful.' Lisa Barr 'Black Wolf
is a superlative read, rich in atmospherics and authenticity.
Kathleen Kent knows the territory firsthand, and deftly guides us
across the harrowing terrain.' Dan Fesperman 'A razor-sharp,
whip-smart, beautifully written thriller. Combines the plotting of
Frederick Forsyth with the chills of Thomas Harris. Highly
recommended.' Christopher Reich 'A gritty depiction of the spy game
during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Perfect for fans of The
Americans.' Alma Katsu
