Sinopsis
IN THE GRAND SPY-TALE TRADITION OF JOHN LE CARRÉ . . . comes this shocking thriller written with insider detail known only to a veteran CIA officer. In present-day Russia, ruled by blue-eyed, unblinking President Vladimir Putin, Russian intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in the post-Soviet intelligence jungle. Ordered against her will to become a âÈêSparrow,âÈë a trained seductress, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a young CIA officer who handles the AgencyâÈçs most important Russian mole. Spies have long relied on the âÈêhoney trap,âÈë whereby vulnerable men and women are intimately compromised. Dominika learns these techniques of âÈêsexpionageâÈë in RussiaâÈçs secret âÈêSparrow School,âÈë hidden outside of Moscow. As the action careens between Russia, Finland, Greece, Italy, and the United States, Dominika and Nate soon collide in a duel of wills, tradecraft, andâÈ'inevitablyâÈ'forbidden passion that threatens not just their lives but those of others as well. As secret allegiances are made and broken, Dominika and NateâÈçs game reaches a deadly crossroads. Soon one of them begins a dangerous double existence in a life-and-death operation that consumes intelligence agencies from Moscow to Washington, DC. Page by page, veteran CIA officer Jason MatthewsâÈçs Red Sparrow delights and terrifies and fascinates, all while delivering an unforgettable cast, from a sadistic Spetsnaz âÈêmechanicâÈë who carries out PutinâÈçs murderous schemes to the weary CIA Station Chief who resists Washington âÈêcake-eatersâÈë to MARBLE, the priceless Russian mole. Packed with insider detail and written with brio, this tour-de-force novel brims with MatthewsâÈçs life experience, including his knowledge of espionage, counterintelligence, surveillance tradecraft, spy recruitment, cyber-warfare, the Russian use of âÈêspy dust,âÈë and covert communications. Brilliantly composed and elegantly constructed, Red Sparrow is a masterful spy tale lifted from the dossiers of intelligence agencies on both sides of the Atlantic. Authentic, tense, and entertaining, this novel introduces Jason Matthews as a major new American talent.

My wife and I have been operating Scene of the Crime Books since 1996. In 2004 we attempted to go against the market and open a storefront on Oakville Ontario. In August 2006 we closed the brick and mortar and humbly went back to just internet. We now do internet and appointment only through our home. So if you're in our neighborhood let us know 24 hours ahead of time. Thank you. Don Longmuir
