To unmask a CIA mole, John Wells must resume his old undercover identity as an al Qaeda jihadi - and hope he can survive it - in the new cutting-edge novel from the best-selling author.
It is the most dangerous mission of John Wells' career.
Evidence is mounting that someone high up in the CIA is doing the unthinkable - passing messages to ISIS, alerting them to planned operations. Finding out the mole's identity without alerting him, however, will be very hard, and to accomplish it Wells will have to do something he thought he'd left behind forever. He will have to reassume his former identity as an al Qaeda jihadi, get captured, and go undercover to befriend an ISIS prisoner in a secret Bulgarian prison.
Many years before, Wells was the only American agent ever to penetrate al Qaeda, but times have changed drastically. The terrorist organizations have multiplied: gotten bigger, crueler, more ambitious, and powerful. Wells knows it may well be his death sentence. But there is no one else.

Critic reviews
“Berenson delivers some surprises along the way...Another strong mix of finely turned suspense and subtle character development.” (Booklist)
“Deeply researched, fast-paced, and believable.” (Kirkus Reviews [starred review])
"The Prisoner reinforces Berenson’s status as one of today’s steadiest practitioners of quality spy fiction...The action culminates smartly [and] Wells is an appealing combination of brains and brawn.” (Publishers Weekly)

One thing that really rubs me the wrong way: If you had a female protagonist flashing back to high school, it would never pass the sniff test. So I am frustrated that John Wells loving his days playing football continues to be a touchstone for his character. It seems incredibly out of place. I want John Wells to evolve into something more, I'm just not sure what. Heck, bring Exley back and make her his manager. Make him do counterintel in the USA. Something... please.
And yet... I hope John Wells is killed off soon

favorite line? "flesh.into air." I also suspect John Wells will not have any more children, but that was realistic as well. given another favorite author's character decision on the crazy old guy? im pleased Shafer lives . Greatest and longest car bomb suspense ever!
and the 4 star overall is due to that motivation issue.
another well crafted spy thriller...

John is getting a little old for having the crap kicked out of him and I think it's about time to modify his role a bit like Silva did with Gabriel. That said there are few authors and characters I like as well. Mitch, John, Gabriel and Dewey. What a team that would make.Love these books and the reader 100%
