The Eighth Sister - A Thriller (Hardcover)

An Amazon Charts, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal bestseller. 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.

A gripping spy thriller! 'The Eighth Sister' by Robert Dugoni instantly grabbed my attention, as I had previously read and enjoyed books from his Tracey Crosswhite series. His latest offering is the first featuring Charles (AKA Charlie) Jenkins, a retired CIA Agent and I was instantly engrossed in this gripping spy thriller! Charles is a family man, married to his wife Alex, who is heavily pregnant, and they have a son known as CJ. Charles has his own security business, which unfortunately is suffering financially. So when his old CIA boss turns up unexpectedly offering to 'reinstate' him on a special undercover mission to Russia, it seems like the answer to Charles' prayers with a lucrative financial reward. His remit is to discover a Russian spy, who it appears is killing members of a US spy cell, known as the seven sisters. As soon as Charles arrives in Moscow, he realises that he is now embroiled in an extremely treacherous game, with so many twists and turns that he literally has to fight for his life! Who can he trust? Can he remain one step ahead of the game? This rollercoaster ride seems to draw to a conclusion, but then there is an interesting court case, where Charles has to face serious charges against the US Government. Will Sloane, his brief, be clever enough to discover the truth? I thoroughly enjoyed the main characters in this taut, riveting spy game and found myself hooked until the finale. Thank you, Robert Dugoni. Galadriel. Breakaway Reviewers received a copy of this book to review.
