Red Sparrow: A Novel (1) (The Red Sparrow Trilogy)

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton!

In the tradition of John le CarrÃ©, the bestselling, impossible-to-put-down, espionage thriller that is â€œa primer in twenty-first century spyingâ€ (The New York Times Book Review), written with the insider detail that only a veteran CIA operative could knowâ€”and shortlisted for an Edgar Award.

State intelligence officer Dominika Egorova struggles to survive in the cast-iron bureaucracy of post-Soviet intelligence. Drafted against her will to become a â€œSparrow,â€ a trained seductress in the service, Dominika is assigned to operate against Nathaniel Nash, a first-tour CIA officer who handles the CIAâ€™s most sensitive penetration of Russian intelligence. The two young intelligence officers, trained in their respective spy schools, collide in a charged atmosphere of tradecraft, deception, and, inevitably, a forbidden spiral of carnal attraction that threatens their careers and the security of Americaâ€™s most valuable mole in Moscow. Seeking revenge against her soulless masters, Dominika begins a fateful double life, recruited by the CIA to ferret out a high-level traitor in Washington; hunt down a Russian illegal buried deep in the US military and, against all odds, to return to Moscow as the new-generation penetration of Putinâ€™s intelligence service. Dominika and Nathanielâ€™s impossible love affair and twisted spy game come to a deadly conclusion in the shocking climax of this electrifying, up-to-the minute spy thriller.

Taking place in todayâ€™s Russia, still ruled with an iron fist by Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Red Sparrow displays author Jason Matthewsâ€™s insider knowledge of espionage, counter-espionage, surveillance tradecraft, recruiting spies, interrogation, and intelligence gathering. As The Washington Post hails, this is a â€œsublime and sophisticated debutâ€¦a first-rate novel as noteworthy for its superior style as for its gripping depiction of a secretive world.â€
