International nuclear espionage turns allies into enemies in this electrifying thriller from the author of The Handler.

Nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran have reached a crisis point. The new American administration is determined to move ahead, but there are several stumbling blocks, not the least of which is Lieutenant Colonel Kasem Khalidi, the former Iranian Quds Force intelligence officer the CIA has hidden away in one of its safe houses.

As always, John and Meredith Dale are caught in the middle. Mossad—the Israeli intelligence agency—wants Meredith's help to find a suspected cache of Quds tactical nukes, while John is in a desperate race to keep Kasem one step ahead of an Iranian hit squad.

They are pawns in an international chess game, and any player knows you cannot capture the king without sacrificing some pawns.

Critic reviews

"Authentic and intelligent—a terrifying glimpse into the threats brewing in the shadows."—Kyle Mills, New York Times bestselling author of Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp series, on Dead Drop

“A new thriller author to binge… people have got to read Dead Drop. It’s an addictive book.”—Hugh Hewitt, host of The Hugh Hewitt Show

"Woodward is a veteran of US Intelligence, and it’s obvious because of the knowledgeable and believable scenarios he writes for his characters. I haven’t seen the same confidence, skill, and ability in spy novels since Robert Ludlum."—The Big Thrill

I thought book one of the series was good, but book two was awesome. Can’t wait for book three of the series.

Great story!

I enjoyed the setting and introduction of different players in this book, and the unusual alliance two spy agencies made. Also enjoy the tension and background on Dale and Meredith.

Great sequel, want more Handler books!

Great new twist to the spy novel gambit! It was my first that involved a married/ex married couple. Also in touch with reality in this crazy world we live in unfortunately. Loved it!

A brilliant story that is so character driven it feels real. Intriguing to the final chapter. Twists that keep you wondering who the hell is running the show. My best book of the year so far. The fact I have to wait a very long time for the next one is a great test of patience. Highly, highly recommended.

Outstanding

When I came across with this novel and author, I wanted to give it a try, and now subsequently finishing all the two books "Dead Drop" and "Handler", I cannot wait for the next one.

Very good author and narration, Highly recommended

A lot of foreign names that were hard to keep track of. It was hard to keep track of the book if you didn't understand who the people were.

Mediocre sequel

Fast paced and relevant in today’s world. Characters and events are believable as is the story line

New author to me
