CIA officer Sam Hudson races to find a Russian deep cover operative loose in the U.S. and a mole in the Agency before they can launch a devastating attack on Washington, D.C., in this adrenaline-fueled thriller from the author of The Night Agent and Hour of the Assassin. For years CIA officer Sam Hudson has been hunting Konstantin, a Russian deep cover operative responsible for a string of assassinations in the West-and he believes a well-placed source in Geneva can finally get him close to the killer. But when their meeting is ambushed, Sam's partner is murdered and he barely makes it out alive himself. Back in the States, the bosses put him on leave and want him to drop his obsession with Konstantin, but Sam can't let a man who's taken so many lives slip away again. When he gets a mysterious call at the Lincoln Memorial just before a bomb goes off, he realizes Konstantin has followed him to the U.S.-and is targeting him and everyone close to him. Teaming up with fellow CIA officer Emily Pierce, he sets out to redeem himself and uncover a plot that has been lying in wait since the end of the Cold War, its elements hidden among the most iconic buildings in the capital. With enemies lurking both inside and outside the Agency and the Russian threat looming ever larger, Sam must use all his training and nerve to stop Konstantin before he can trigger the plot to devastate Washington and bring the US to its knees.

“Red Warning” is the saga of working in “the real game,” being in “intelligence work,” operating under “nonofficial cover.” The players have individual stories, Individual training, and diverse backgrounds; however, their mission is the same. They are on their own, in “deep cover” with no diplomatic immunity, and no backup. All does not go well, and these people might not actually know what they have gotten themselves into.
This game of international deception is dangerously complex and at the same time exceedingly mundane. The search for sleeper agents, potential targets, and prospective sources is more of a waiting game than a fast-action thriller. Step after step must be slow and precise to lessen the risk; however peril is hiding around every corner. Some dangers have been intricately hidden, concealed for decades, just waiting for an opportunity, a gathering, a chance. Tick-tock, tick-tock; things build.
“Red Warning” is filled with secrets; people who are enigmas and those who search them out. Dangers from without and dangers from within are hidden on every page. The narrative pushes readers right to the edge, just waiting for “IT” to happen, and even when it seems done and over, it is not.
I received a review copy of “Red Warning” from Matthew Quirk and William Morrow. “Red Warning” is now available in print, as an e-book, and on audio from independent bookstores, online booksellers, retail stores, public libraries, and anywhere you get your books.
Be sure to look for the nice shout out to T Jefferson Parker in chapter eight.
