FBI Agent Peter Sutherland monitors a White House Situation Room emergency line. That crucial, life-or-death call may never come.

When Peter takes a call one day his whole world changes. A terrified young woman says two people have been murdered. One of the victims' dying words thrust Peter into a deep-level conspiracy years in the making: there is a traitor at the heart of the US government.

A Russian mole has been placed within the inner sanctum of the White House. Anyone could be the traitor. Anyone could be corrupted.

To save the nation, Peter must take the rules into his own hands, question everything, and trust no one.

Rezensionen

"The Night Agent is a whirlwind of a book, a captivating narrative that takes us inside the White House's inner sanctum and the shadowy machinations surrounding it. A powerful and taut thriller." - Mark Greaney #1 bestselling author of Mission Critical

"This story is impossible to put out of mind.... Relevant and revealing, this is one of the best thrillers to come along in years." - Michael Connelly

"Strap in for one hell of a ride. The Night Agent is full of twists and surprises you'll never see coming." - Ben Coes, New York Times bestselling author of Bloody Sunday

"Matthew Quirk moves into David Baldacci and John Grisham territory with The Night Agent, a paranoid, pulse-pounding thriller that could not be more prescient. If you're wondering where the best of the next generation of suspense talent is headed, look no further." - Joseph Finder

"Matthew Quirk is rapidly proving himself to be among our finest thriller writers, and The Night Agent is the latest undeniable evidence. Quirk writes rapid-fire, page-turning action with unusual grace and intelligence, and his latest American nightmare is guaranteed to keep readers up late." - Michael Koryta, New York Times bestselling author of How It Happened

"Baldacci's debut [Absolute Power] kept me awake half the night. I'm still a fan... I had the same reaction when I picked up The Night Agent... Best to start this at the beginning of a weekend, as you'll be burning the midnight oil 'til you're finished." - Newark Star Ledger

"Plenty of breathless one-more-chapter, stay-up-late suspense wrapped around a meaty and timely story ... irresistible." - Lee Child

"Quirk's chilling and modern scenario of foreign influence reaching into the highest reaches of government will be thoroughly enjoyed by political thriller junkies." - Library Journal (starred review)

"Quirk returns to the thriller scene with a thundering bang... Quirk's latest feels like he's been churning out political thrillers for decades, hitting on a timely plot that starts out fast and only speeds up as the story unfolds... [A] high-stakes, nail-biting political thriller." - TheRealBookSpy.com

"Lots of good, tense plotting... A real pleasure of espionage fiction is tradecraft secrets, and Quirk doesn't disappoint." - Booklist

"The Night Agent is a compelling high-stakes thriller, lightning fast, relentlessly suspenseful and unsettlingly realistic." - Hank Phillippi Ryan, bestselling author of Trust Me

Praise for the earlier novels: "A thundering David-and-Goliath tale of corruption... A real page turner, with high stakes action that doesn't stop." - Booklist (starred review) on The 500

"The Firm goes to Washington, only with a whole lot more action." - James Patterson on The 500

"Sophisticated storytelling [and] whiplash pacing . . . Clever twists and startling surprises." - Washington Post on Cold Barrel Zero

"The action dazzles. The characters feel authentic and fully fleshed. The threats seem all too real." - Los Angeles Review of Books on Cold Barrel Zero

"The story is expertly stripped down, the action relentless, and the characters multilayered. A lethal game of cat and mouse." - Kirkus Reviews on Cold Barrel Zero

"A tour de force. Dead Man Switch turns the intelligence community's 'wilderness of mirrors' into a high-speed racetrack, delivering twist after twist toward a literally explosive conclusion... Quirk shows us the human cost of living-and dying-on the gray edges of national security." - Joseph Finder

"This is a nonstop, heart-pounding ride in which moral blacks and whites turn gray in "the efficient alignment of power and interests" that is big-time politics. Quirk has another high-powered hit on his hands." - Booklist (starred review) on The Directive

"The Directive does for the Fed what... Aaron Sorkin did for the White House in "The West Wing", and what Beau Willimon is doing with "House of Cards"... Drips with the kind of eye for the telling detail that only a canny reporter, detective or spy possesses." - Forbes

"A plot that twists like a cobra in a sack, a whip-crack pace and engaging characters make The Night Agent a very classy thriller." - Financial Times

"This is David Baldacci territory, but done with a refreshing vigour by... Quirk who is making a name for himself as a thriller writer to watch." - Daily Mail (London)

"A whirlwind of action and suspense." - The New York Times
