Palace of Treason: A Novel (The Red Sparrow Trilogy Book 2)

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.
