“Left me breathless with its nimble plot work and sheer storytelling audacity.” —The New York Times
A Financial Times "Best Summer Books of 2026"
Renegade CIA officer Ari Falk is hiding out in the Republic of Georgia after blowing the lid off a massive government conspiracy in the highest levels of the US intelligence community, making him a hero to some and a traitor to others. But his quiet exile is shattered when a mission arises—one only he can pull off.
To redeem himself to his country, Falk must infiltrate an extremist group in the heart of Europe. His target? Felix Burnham, a chilling antagonist with radical alliances that could change the global balance of power. With Europe embroiled in war and shadowy political machinations dominating the home front, Falk’s only ally is Asha Tamaskar, a brilliant, neurodivergent CIA officer with her own secrets. Their quest for justice takes Falk on a high-stakes journey from Prague to Tbilisi, Andorra to Bethesda in this must-read for fans of political intrigue, espionage, and spy thrillers that don’t play by the rules.

Recenzii
‘This novel confirms Michael Idov as the real deal. . . The writing has the required sense of authenticity and lean pace . . . above all, there is an agile intelligence and lightness of touch’
‘Idov invests even familiar staples of spy fiction – a mole hunt, a reckless love – with a vital spark . . . the plot has a ripped-from-the-headlines immediacy . . . Idov’s smart, agile writing moves so quickly it would be easy to underestimate how much is going on’
‘Michael Idov ups the pace with verve. . . He writes with a wit and humour rare in the genre . . . Falk wonders if the agency is still ‘the same clusterf*ck of bureaucracy, cruelty, hubris, and over-reach, just in a fun new millennial wrapper’. The answer soon becomes clear in this cracking tale’
'Full of twists, turns, cynical wisdom and genuinely nail-biting border crossings, this really does merit comparisons to vintage le Carre'
'An ingenious and exciting novel'
‘Brilliantly written with twists and turns galore’
‘Confirms his elevated status amongst the current munificent wave of spy thrillers, alongside the likes of McCloskey, Berry, Fesperman, Vidich and Herron . . . Breathless but fascinating and with a sinister ring of truth’
‘Another explosive, fast-paced and superbly plotted thriller which is as visually exciting as it is verbally entertaining . . . leaves readers gasping for breath’
‘Left me breathless with its nimble plot work and sheer storytelling audacity. . . As the plot careens along, Idov embellishes it with gorgeous descriptions. . . My expectations for Idov’s next book are very high’
