HBL Note: I received this book back in April and I wanted to feature it then, but I was totally “booked.” Groan, sigh. Yes, that was low-hanging fruit. My blog schedule is crazy and I’m currently filled up through September! When I had a last-minute opening, I knew this was the book I’d feature. I absolutely love losing myself in a good thriller. The Eighth Sister by Robert Dugoni received a starred review from The Library Journal which said, “With lean prose and spot-on local color, this plot-driven thriller pulses with tension and fraught escapes, the action capped by a courtroom drama as good as any from Grisham. A must-read for fans of legal thrillers and/or spy novels.” Fans of legal thrillers or spy novels? That’s me! I used to watch Law and Order obsessively. Someone read this book and tell me how much I’m missing out!

From the publisher:
A pulse-pounding thriller of espionage, spy games, and treachery by the New York Timesbestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite Series.
Former CIA case officer Charles Jenkins is a man at a crossroads: in his early sixties, he has a family, a new baby on the way, and a security consulting business on the brink of bankruptcy. Then his former bureau chief shows up at his house with a risky new assignment: travel undercover to Moscow and locate a Russian agent believed to be killing members of a clandestine US spy cell known as the seven sisters.
Desperate for money, Jenkins agrees to the mission and heads to the Russian capital. But when he finds the mastermind agent behind the assassinations—the so-called eighth sister—she is not who or what he was led to believe. Then again, neither is anyone else in this deadly game of cat and mouse.
Pursued by a dogged Russian intelligence officer, Jenkins executes a daring escape across the Black Sea, only to find himself abandoned by the agency he serves. With his family and freedom at risk, Jenkins is in the fight of his life—against his own country.
