Ex-FBI agent Steve Vail navigates a maze of hidden codes and brain-
teasing puzzles to stay hot on the trail of a band of Russian spies
in this breathtaking follow-up to his New York Times bestselling debut,
The Bricklayer
FBI-agent-turned-bricklayer Steve Vail once helped the FBI solve
a brilliant extortion plot. It was supposed to be a one-and-done deal.
But when he's in Washington, D.C., to see Kate Bannon--an FBI assistant
director--on what he thinks will be a romantic New Year's Eve date,
suddenly things get complicated. The FBI has another unsolvable problem,
and it has Vail's name written all over it.
A man known as Calculus, an officer at the Russian embassy, has
approached the FBI claiming that he has a list of Americans who are
selling confidential information to the Russian SVR. In exchange for
the list, he is asking for a quarter of a million dollars for each
traitor the FBI apprehends. But then Calculus informs the FBI that he
has been swiftly recalled to Moscow, and the Bureau suspects the worst:
the Russians have discovered what Calculus is up to, probably have
access to his list, and will be hunting the traitors to kill them
unless the FBI can find them first.
The FBI realizes that it has to keep the operation quiet. Once again,
Vail is the perfect man, along with Kate Bannon, who would be anyone's
first pick for help on an impossibly dangerous case. But finding the
traitors isn't going to be easy. In fact, it's going to be downright
deadly. And if the Bricklayer survives, he will have to come up with
a few tricks of his own.
Agent X is a heart-pounding thrill ride with an authenticity only
a writer who's an FBI veteran can provide, and Steve Vail--a man
Patricia Cornwell calls a new American hero--is one of the smartest,
toughest, and most compelling new characters to come along in many
years.
