The Amateur Spy

ebook
The widely acclaimed author of Winter Work now recasts the spy novel for the post-9/11 world—anyone might be watching, everyone is suspect.
“Exceptional…. Fesperman writes so well that it's easy to follow wherever he leads…. Chilling.” —The Washington Post
Freeman Lockhart, a humanitarian aid worker and his Bosnian wife have just retired to a charming house on a Greek island. On their first night, violent intruders blackmail Freeman into spying on an old Palestinian friend living in Jordan. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., a Palestinian-American named Aliyah Rahim is worried about her husband, who blames their daughter's death on the U.S. anti-terror policies. Aliyah learns that he is plotting a cataclysmic act of revenge; in a desperate effort to stop him, she flies to Jordan to meet her husband's co-conspirators. There she encounters Freeman neck-deep in his own investigation. As their paths intertwine, the story rises to its fast-paced, explosive climax.
