Black Wolf

Autor Kathleen Kent
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 feb 2023
"It is 1990 and new recruit Melvina Donleavy is undercover for the CIA. Her first mission sends her to Belarus with three fellow agents, although she alone knows she is playing two roles. For Mel has a secret; she is a "super recognizer," someone who never forgets a face. So while the prying eyes of the Soviet Union see only a secretary, she is executing a top-secret order: she will identify the nuclear scientists secretly exporting weapons out of the crumbling Soviet Union. But no training could prepare Mel for the realities of life undercover, especially once she catches the eye of the elusive and petrifying Black Wolf of the KGB. And when Mel learns that women have been disappearing from Minsk, one by one, she finds herself in the path of an altogether different kind of criminal. Soviet law enforcement is firm: murder is a capitalist disease. But what if there really is a killer? Could he be protected by the very highest levels of power? Filled with insider details from the author's own time working under the direction of the U.S. Department of Defense, Black Wolf is a riveting new spy thriller from an Edgar-nominated crime writer, and a biting exploration of the divide between two nations, two masterminds, and two sides of a woman pushed to her breaking point, where she'll learn that you can only ever trust one person: yourself"--

Recenzii

Kent deftly juggles her matryoshka of serial killer-spy thriller, which benefits from a little-known setting that also takes in the legacies of Chernobyl and the Second World War
Successfully manages to combine a well-researched and realistic espionage plot alongside a chilling serial killer hunt with echoes of both CHILD 44 and GORKY PARK... An almost perfect combination of thriller sub-genres
Kathleen Kent slays it with her new thriller Black Wolf, a propulsive page-turner chock full of juicy spy game goodies: intrigue, serial murder, nuclear secrets, passion, and of course, survival of the fittest... Welcome to the high-stakes world of Melvina Donleavy - a riveting, rich, and relevant heroine destined to take the suspense book world by storm. Simply masterful
Black Wolf is a riveting read. A razor-sharp, whip-smart, beautifully written thriller set in the chaotic days following the collapse of the Soviet Union, it combines the research and plotting of Frederick Forsyth with the gruesome chills of Thomas Harris. Part espionage tale, part serial killer mystery, Black Wolf is a wholly original page turner of the first order. Highly recommended
A gritty depiction of the spy game during the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Perfect for fans of The Americans
An outstanding account of Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall...thoroughly absorbing and highly recommended book
Very enjoyable and engaging
'This stimulating spy thriller set during the break up of the Soviet Union in the 1990s is intensely captivating... Black Wolf successfully positions a serial-killer murder mystery alongside a spy thriller, and they entwine and weave into one fabulously readable novel.'
