Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews

Now a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton

Today, a big and dangerous spy game is being played between Russian intelligence and the CIA. Very few people are aware of it, but Jason Matthews is, and his fascinating Red Sparrow brings us deep inside this treacherous world. He's an insider's insiderAnd he's also a brilliant storytellerI loved this book and couldn't put it down, and neither will you--Vince Flynn

This frightening thriller is written with insider detail known only to a seasoned CIA official, in the grand spy-tale style of John le Carr.

Dominika Egorova, a Russian intelligence officer, battles to live in the post-Soviet intelligence jungle in modern-day Russia, overseen by blue-eyed, unblinking President Vladimir Putin. Forced against her will to become a Sparrow, a trained seductress, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a young CIA officer in charge of the Agency's most important Russian mole.

As the action shifts between Russia, Finland, Greece, Italy, and the United States, Dominika and Nate face off in a battle of wills, tradecraft, and--inevitably--forbidden passion that threatens not only their lives but also the lives of others. As covert allegiances are formed and shattered, Dominika and Nate's game approaches a deadly crossroads.

Page after page, experienced CIA officer Jason Matthews's Red Sparrow delights, terrifies, and fascinates, all while offering an fascinating cast, from a sadistic Spetsnaz mechanic who carries out Putin's homicidal designs to the tired CIA Station Chief who defies Washington cake-eaters.
