Beschreibung
An exhilarating spy thriller about two women CIA agents who become intertwined around a threat to the Russia Division--one that's coming from inside the agency.

Lyndsey Duncan worries her career with the CIA might be over. After lines are crossed with another intelligence agent during her most recent assignment, she is sent home to Washington on administrative leave. So when a former colleague, now Chief of the Russia Division, recruits her for an internal investigation, she jumps at the chance to prove herself once more. Lyndsey was once a top handler in the Moscow Field Station, known as the "human lie detector" and praised for recruiting some of the most senior Russian officials. But now, three Russian assets have been discovered--including one of her own--and the CIA is convinced there's a mole in the department. With years of work in question, and lives on the line, Lyndsey is thrown back into life at the agency, only this time tracing the steps of those closest to her.

Meanwhile, fellow agent Theresa Warner can't avoid the spotlight. She is the infamous "Red Widow," the wife of a former director killed in the field under mysterious circumstances. With her husband's legacy shadowing her every move, Theresa is a fixture of the Russia Division, and as she and Lyndsey strike up an unusual friendship, her knowledge proves invaluable. But as Lyndsey uncovers a surprising connection to Theresa that could answer all of her questions, she exposes a terrifying web of secrets within the department, if only she is willing to unravel it...

She lives outside of Washington, D.C., with her husband, where she is a consultant to government and private industry on future trends and analytic methods.
Zusammenfassung
CAPTIVATING INSIDER LOOK AT THE CIA: Alma Katsu has had a 30+ year career as a senior intelligence analyst (8 years with the CIA, 24 years with NSA), and is currently an intelligence consultant for a think tank for emerging technologies. She knows the ins-and-outs of some of the most elusive agencies in the nation, and writes about both the drama and the day-to-day functions of the CIA with ease. She expertly captures the job with a level of detail and accessibility, within an exciting, page-turning story, that is sure to draw in readers.

RELATABLE FEMALE CHARACTERS, WRITTEN BY A FEMALE AUTHOR: Both Lyndsey and Theresa are multi-dimensional, intelligent, and heroic women who drive the action in Red Widow. Moreover, while many authors writing in the political and espionage thriller space feature female leads, nearly none are written by female authors. Women readers in particular will identify with and root for these smart yet sympathetic characters.

AN EXCITING NEW DIRECTION BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Katsu has written two historical supernatural horror novels for Putnam, but this is her first book to make direct use of her CIA/NSA experience. While The Deep and The Hunger established Katsu as a mainstream figure in the horror genre, she is now turning the same literary chops and high-energy (and high tension) writing to a category she knows intimately.

EXTREMELY TIMELY: With ripped-from-the-headlines details, interest is intense about Russian interests and involvement with U.S. agencies.
