Dominika Egorova, captain of the Russian Intelligence Service, despises the oligarchs, thieves and thugs of Putin's Russia. But what no one knows is that she also works for the CIA. Her training in the art of sexual espionage further complicates the deadly risks she must take, as does her love for her mentor Nate Nash, a shared lust as dangerous as betrayal. As Dominika expertly dodges discovery, deals with a psychotic and criminal boss, survives an assassination attempt and tries to rescue an arrested double agent, she thwarts Putin's menacing flirtations. The Palace of Treason" is a story "as cinematic and suspenseful as the best spy movie" (The Philadelphia Inquirer). A plot so original and plausible that, in fact, it is unlikely that this novel could be published in Russia. The thrilling sequel to Jason Matthews' Edgar Award-winning bestseller, "Red Sparrow," starring Russian spy Dominika Egorova and CIA agent Nate Nash.
