A Reluctant Spy (2024)
David Goodman
"Delving into the messy alliances of our post-Cold War world, A Reluctant Spy delivers a twisting, edge-of-your-seat tale of mercenaries, greed, corruption, and espionage set in sultry Zanzibar. Taut and suspenseful, it's as sharp as the salt and lime on a Tanzanian margarita."

Every Spy a Traitor (2024)
(Double Agent, book 1)
Alex Gerlis
"With this brilliant tale of a writer entangled in pre-World War II espionage, Gerlis cleverly builds an ironic and darkly realistic world that shows just how nebulous is the border between good and evil, observer and participant, our inner and outer lives. Richly imagined, meticulously plotted, and chockfull of historic details, Every Spy a Traitor is one of those rare books that gets better with every page. One of the best spy novels I've read."
