"Another Charles Cumming triumph.” (Jason Matthews, best-selling author of The Kremlin's Candidate)
In this gripping contemporary thriller, a successful spy novelist is drawn into a real-life espionage plot when he’s ordered to find a mysterious fugitive on the alluring but deadly streets of Morocco.
Renowned author Kit Carradine is approached by an MI6 officer with a seemingly straightforward assignment: to track down a mysterious woman hiding somewhere in the exotic, perilous city of Marrakesh. But when Carradine learns the woman is a dangerous fugitive with ties to international terrorism, the glamour of being a spy is soon tainted by fear and betrayal.
Lara Bartok is a leading figure in Resurrection, a violent revolutionary movement whose brutal attacks on prominent right-wing public figures have spread hatred and violence across the world. Her disappearance ignites a race between warring intelligence services desperate to find her - at any cost. But as Carradine edges closer to the truth, he finds himself drawn to this brilliant, beautiful, and profoundly complex woman.
Caught between increasingly dangerous forces who want Bartok dead, Carradine soon faces an awful choice: to abandon Lara to her fate or to risk everything trying to save her.

The reader's performance is excellent. He does well with "voices" but doesn't go overboard about it.
There are a few who complain about "politics" in this book. I can only say that anyone offended by the (minimal) politics in here seem pretty thin skinned to me. At the beginning "the bad guys" are a left leaning group attacking (I will use the term loosely to minimize spoilers) well known loudmouth conservatives. No one exactly looks good. By the end, the bad guys are still pretty much bad guys, though unsurprisingly one of the main ones has more complex motives. It's a spy story.... At the very end, a few very few not-too-complimentary allusions are made (without naming names or being too specific) to the Trump administration. It's pretty light stuff and hardly a political screed. Honestly, my suggestion if you are that sensitive to a bit of political commentary in a novel is that you find a genre other than espionage. :-)
Another fun ride from Cumming
