What do you do when you’re a CIA analyst and you find out your husband is a Russian agent, a ‘sleeper’. It’s a sad indictment of the American system when the CIA analyst in question, Vivian Miller, can’t turn her Russian spy husband in because, amongst other things, she would lose her job and the health insurance they so desperately need to pay for medical bills for their special needs child. It’s a conundrum, all right.
This book is a fast-paced, interesting, fairly light read, a notch more intelligent than most thrillers. The husband does seem a little too perfect and the ending is predictable but hey, it’s a good ride.
