Produktbeschreibung
"It is 1990 and new recruit Melvina Donleavy is undercover for the CIA. Her first mission sends her to Belarus with three fellow agents, although she alone knows she is playing two roles. For Mel has a secret; she is a "super recognizer," someone who never forgets a face. So while the prying eyes of the Soviet Union see only a secretary, she is executing a top-secret order: she will identify the nuclear scientists secretly exporting weapons out of the crumbling Soviet Union. But no training could prepare Mel for the realities of life undercover, especially once she catches the eye of the elusive and petrifying Black Wolf of the KGB. And when Mel learns that women have been disappearing from Minsk, one by one, she finds herself in the path of an altogether different kind of criminal. Soviet law enforcement is firm: murder is a capitalist disease. But what if there really is a killer? Could he be protected by the very highest levels of power? Filled with insider details from the author's own time working under the direction of the U.S. Department of Defense, Black Wolf is a riveting new spy thriller from an Edgar-nominated crime writer, and a biting exploration of the divide between two nations, two masterminds, and two sides of a woman pushed to her breaking point, where she'll learn that you can only ever trust one person: yourself"--

Rezensionen
Kent deftly juggles her matryoshka of serial killer-spy thriller, which benefits from a little-known setting that also takes in the legacies of Chernobyl and the Second World War The Times
