About this listen

A CIA officer and his recruit arrive in Damascus to hunt for a killer.

CIA case officer Sam Joseph is dispatched to Paris to recruit Syrian Palace official Mariam Haddad. The two fall into a forbidden relationship, which supercharges Haddad's recruitment and creates unspeakable danger when they enter Damascus to find the man responsible for the disappearance of an American spy.

But the cat and mouse chase for the killer soon leads to a trail of high-profile assassinations and the discovery of a dark secret at the heart of the Syrian regime, bringing the pair under the all-seeing eyes of Assad's spy catcher, Ali Hassan, and his brother Rustum, the head of the feared Republican Guard. Set against the backdrop of a Syria pulsing with fear and rebellion, Damascus Station is a gripping thriller that offers a textured portrayal of espionage, love, loyalty, and betrayal in one of the most difficult CIA assignments on the planet.

Really Good

An interesting & intriguing espionage story. The twists in the story keep one’s attention till the last page. Very well written & superbly told. I really hope there will be more to come from this author.

Well crafted spy novel

Why there are so far reviews for this has me puzzled. (Just 1?) . Anyhow - this book is very good - and gets into the weeds of a CIA agent posted to Syria. The setting is credible - and the book is fast paced. I hope wo see more of this from McCloskey. The narration .. so so. I have not listed to Whelan before - some hissing with the "ss" gets to grate after a while. Accents were good. A "list of characters" would be handy - come on PUBLISHERS lets earn your keep.
