Captain
Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service has returned from the West
to Moscow. She despises the men she serves, the oligarchs, and crooks, and
thugs of Putin's Russia. What no one knows is that Dominika is working for the
CIA as Washington's most sensitive penetration of the Kremlin. As she expertly
dodges exposure, Dominika deals with a murderously psychotic boss; faces
assassination attempt and counter-intelligence ambushes, and must rescue a
compromised agent and somehow spirit him out of Russia from under the noses of
her pursuers. Complicating it all is Dominika's relationship with her CIA
handler, Nate Nash. And when a mole in Moscow finds her name on a classified
list of sources, it is a virtual death sentence. Palace
of Treason is by Jason Matthews and is due to be published in January 2016
