Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal bestselling series.

An American operative in Russia is on the run for his life in a thriller of heart-stopping betrayal and international intrigue by the New York Times bestselling author of The Eighth Sister.

Betrayed by his own country and tried for treason, former spy Charles Jenkins survived an undercover Russian operation gone wrong. Exonerated, bitter, and safe, the retired family man is through with duplicitous spy games. Then he learns of a woman isolated in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo Prison.

If it’s Paulina Ponomayova, the agent who sacrificed her life to save his, Jenkins can’t leave her behind. But there’s no guarantee it’s her. Or proof Paulina is still alive. To find out, Jenkins must return to Russia. Next move: blackmail Viktor Federov, a former Russian officer with his own ax to grind, into helping him infiltrate Lefortovo. The enemy who once pursued Jenkins across three continents is now the only man Jenkins can trust.

Every step of the way - from Moscow to Scandinavia to the open ocean - they’re hunted by a brutal Russian agent on a killer quest of his own. Out of loyalty to Paulina - dead or alive - Jenkins is putting everyone’s life on the line for a new mission that could be his last.

Critic reviews

“Narrator Edoardo Ballerini is a master at voices. For Jenkins, he creates a slightly easygoing manner, and for his CIA contact, a youngish-sounding voice. For the Russians, he uses a pitch range: rising for a scared but strong woman, dropping a bit for an agent helping Jenkins, and then lowering even further for an impatient, growling nemesis. He's consistent with all of them in this exciting cat-and-mouse adventure, which blends classic espionage and a mystery.” --AudioFile Magazine

“In bestseller Dugoni’s fast and furious sequel to 2019’s The Eighth Sister…Dugoni writes with such immediacy that readers will feel as if they’re standing alongside Jenkins as he contemplates his next death-defying move. Fans of espionage fiction are in for a high-octane thrill ride.” --Publishers Weekly

“All I can say is, wow. [Dugoni] knocked it way out of the park on this one.” --The Mountain Times

Enjoyed the ride

This is a fast paced follow up to the first installment, The Eight Sisters. Great character development and a ton of action. The author keeps you guessing a bit on which way things are going to go. A good listen.

Fantastic again

Is it wrong for me to take inspiration from a fictional character? The same age as Charlie and with a background in human intel, this was kick-in-the-pants fun for me.

Excellent

This book and series kept me up at night. The narrator of the audio book is a real pro who added to the enjoyment of a well-written story.

5 Stars are not enough

After about 400 audible books - there are none better than this. A thrilling story line - with just perfect narration/acting.
So 5 stars in a heart beat. Same for the earlier book too.
It would be good to have an accessible pdf sheet with the main characters listed for people like me (who NEVER buy the hard copy book).

WoW Another Can’t Put Down Book!

I started this book in the morning and didn’t put it down until the last word. I couldn’t predict what was going to happen next. I felt involved with the main characters and cared what happened to them. What more can you ask for. A day worth spending. Thanks Robert Dugoni. I’m greedy, I want more of these books.
