The Eighth Sister by Robert Dugoni

4.0

Charlie Jenkins runs his own security company and is happy with his wife and son, with another child on the way. But bills are piling up and Charlie needs money fast. Fortunately, his station chief from his days in the CIA shows up and needs him for an operation, and he’ll pay handsomely. Charlie heads to Russia and puts his old spy and Russian language skills to use, facing off with a worthy opponent, Alexsandr Federov. Once he gets back home, though, Charlie learns all is not what it seemed in Russia. Facing a tremendous legal battle, he and his attorney, David Sloane, are fighting for Charlie’s freedom against a formidable opponent, the U.S. government. I really enjoyed this book. I loved the characters - they were smart but not super human, and we got to see the personal and professional sides of them. The cat and mouse game in Russia was suspenseful but believable. And the legal thriller second part of the book was tightly written and fast-paced. I’ll read more by this author.
