The Russia Account
by Stephen Coonts"Longtime Coonts fans who share his political leanings will best appreciate this outing."—Publishers Weekly "The story moves along at a brisk pace, with plenty of intrigue, which will please thriller fans."—Booklist "Since switching publishers a few years back, Coonts has consistently delivered high-powered, conspiracy-laden political thrillers that are perfect for fans of Vince Flynn and Brad Thor."—Real Book Spy It Starts with a Murder . . . Will It End with a Coup? Stephen Coonts, master of suspense, has captivated readers around the world by writing thrillers ripped from the nation’s headlines. His newest, The Russia Account, pits CIA officer Tommy Carmellini against a murderous international financial conspiracy that leaves a trail of death and corruption, extending from a small bank in Estonia to the highest reaches of the Kremlin and the halls of Congress—perhaps even to the CIA itself, putting Admiral Jake Grafton, the head of the CIA, in the crosshairs of an assassin. Burglar-turned-CIA-warrior Tommy Carmellini has starred in eight previous Coonts thrillers. With the help of his mentor, Admiral Grafton, Carmellini has always managed to foil his enemies. Discovering and defeating the powerful forces behind this massive bloodstained financial conspiracy that threatens the very foundations of the United States government, and maybe the life of the president of the United States, will be his most difficult challenge yet—and perhaps, he suspects, an impossible one. By turns thrilling, shocking, and even prophetic, The Russia Account is Coonts in top form. It is a reading experience not to be missed.
The Russia House
by John Le CarréIt is the third uncertain summer of the perestroika. Niki Landau, philanderer and travelling representative, attends the first Moscow audio fair and is accosted by a beautiful Russian girl named Katya, who asks him to take a parcel back to England. The parcel is addressed to the unlikely person of Barley Blair, jazz-player, drinker and derelict English publisher. It contains information held to be vital to the defence of the West. But this superfire recipe for heroic action is no longer what it seems. Times and heroes are on the change. The Iron Curtain is rusting so fast that the battle cries of the Cold War are sounding increasingly hollow to everyone but the professionals. And Barley Blair is a man who makes his own rules of engagement. He is much married, he has children from different lives. Yet the unused love in him is still hunting for a home, and the tattered idealism for a cause. In Katya, from the first moment of their meeting, he believes he has found both. But has he? And, even if he has, is it, as Katya would say, convenient? Contriving once again to catch history in the act, John Le Carré draws us into his secret world and makes it do duty for our own. In Moscow, Leningrad and London, on an island off the coast of Maine that belongs to the CIA, and in the very heart of Barley Blair himself, John Le Carré spins us not only a spy story and an anti-spy story, but an allegory of individual love pitched against corporate attitudes of habitual belligerence. Thrilling, moving and often very funny. The Russia House is an irreverent and ultimately optimistic fable of our time.
