Perfect for you if...

  • You crave espionage thrillers with real tradecraft and insider knowledge, told by someone who actually worked in the CIA.
  • You loved the Red Sparrow film with Jennifer Lawrence and want the far more complex and darker book version.
  • You're drawn to morally grey protagonists caught between loyalty, survival, and forbidden love in high-stakes settings.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced action over character development and internal conflict.
  • You want a straightforward good-versus-evil narrative without moral ambiguity or personal complications.
  • You're looking for a standalone novel; this is book two and assumes you've read Red Sparrow first.

About this book

Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service has returned to Moscow after working in the West. She despises the men she serves—the oligarchs, crooks, and thugs of Putin's Russia. Unknown to her superiors, Dominika is a CIA asset and Washington's most sensitive source within the SVR and Kremlin. Dominika's position grows more precarious when Russian President Putin takes a personal interest in her. She must navigate exposure while managing a psychotic boss, surviving an Iranian assassination attempt, and attempting to rescue an arrested double agent. Her situation is further complicated by her romantic feelings for her CIA handler, Nate Nash—a connection as dangerous as espionage itself. As Dominika works to thwart Putin's advances and protect her cover, she and Nate race toward a critical confrontation in this second novel of the trilogy.
