Traitors

A DOJ counterintelligence lawyer pursues a Russian spy ring embedded at the heart of the American government. "Traitors is an unusually good, unusually satisfying espionage thriller." ―James Patterson Robert Cooper―deputy assistant attorney general for counterintelligence in the DOJ’s National Security Division―has built a storied career distinguished by high-profile arrests and prosecutions of enemy spies. One morning, he’s approached by a Russian sleeper agent looking to defect. The agent offers Cooper alarming information: Russian operatives have infiltrated the US government at its highest levels, including a mole in the senior ranks of the FBI. Cooper’s investigations lead to the discovery of a clandestine Russian plot involving deep-cover agents in senior government positions. As Cooper and his team at the DOJ race to uncover the Kremlin’s plans and unmask the traitors, a coup in Russia brings to power a militant extremist regime seemingly intent on sidelining the US on the world stage while Russia retakes its former Soviet territories. In Robert B. McCaw’s fast-paced novel, high-stakes political intrigue mixes with riveting moments of international espionage.
