The Spy in the Deuce Court
by Frank DefordA globetrotting journalist goes on assignment for the Central Intelligence AgencyAs the world's premier tennis journalist, Ronnie Ratajczak has a plush life. Like the professional players about whom he writes, he spends his life on the road, hopping from one glamorous locale to another and taking in the giddy atmosphere that surrounds pro tournaments. But unlike the pros, Ronnie operates under little pressure, spending his days pecking out copy and his nights bedding some of the most beautiful women on earth. He is a world-class libertine, and keeps a very high profile. So high a profile, in fact, that he's drawn attention from the CIA. They want Ronnie to work for them--not as a spy, but as a spy's decoy. The job will be easy, well-paid, and, most important, a bit of fun. Ronnie accepts, but soon learns that pretend spies can die just as easily as the real thing.

A Spy in Exile: A Thriller
by Jonathan De ShalitFrom the author of the internationally bestselling “supremely effective, cunningly crafted” (The Providence Journal) thriller Traitor, a cerebral and suspenseful novel of high-stakes intrigue in Israel’s top intelligence agency. After Ya’ara Stein is forced out of her job at the Mossad—the secret intelligence service of Israel—she is called upon by the Prime Minister for a classified job. Known for her aptitude, beauty, and deadliness, Stein is asked to set up a secret unit that will act independently, answerable only to the Prime Minister. This streamlined and deadly unit, filled with bright young men and women recruited and trained by Stein, quickly faces threats both old and new. Descendants of the lethal militant Red Army Faction have returned to terrorize Europe and fears of a radical Islam splinter group force the unit to distinguish between facts and smoke screens. As Stein’s cadets struggle to crush these threats, they soon discover how easily the hunter can become the hunted. A dazzling, tension-filled novel that sheds light on the world hidden just below the surface of our everyday lives, this thriller offers a peek into the dark behind the curtain where today’s deadliest conflicts are fought. With breathless pacing and shocking twists and turns, it proves that Jonathan de Shalit “has learned well from the likes of Mr. le Carré” (The Wall Street Journal).

The Spy House
by Matthew DunnIn this fifth electrifying Spycatcher thriller, former Intelligence officer Will Cochrane must solve a seemingly unsolvable problem: How did four international agents working on a top-secret mission die in a safe-house bunker that was locked from the inside?When the Israeli ambassador to France is killed in Paris by an unknown sniper, the Israeli government quickly blames Hamas and demands retribution. They immediately begin planning a massive invasion to obliterate the group once and for all. To avoid an all-out war, U.S. presidential adviser Admiral Tobias Mason, the president, and their counterparts abroad all scramble to assemble a team of agents to find the truth behind the assassination. Meanwhile, a young Palestinian refugee named Safa is pulled from his family and taken to France on a scholarship from the UN. After growing up in the midst of war, he embraces a peaceful life in the West for the first time, and dutifully completes every lesson and mysterious task his guardian puts before him. The agents of the task force work quietly and carefully in an undisclosed location in Beirut, Lebanon, called "Gray Site." But when communication with the team suddenly fails, backup is called in and finds all four men dead in the bunker, locked from the inside.In order to maintain security during an investigation, authorities turn to Will Cochrane. Murder-suicide seems a likely conclusion, but Cochrane doesn't believe it's possible--because a good friend and a highly trusted former colleague, Roger Koenig, was one of the agents who died. And Cochrane now knows there has to be more to this story. To find out what really happened both in the Paris shooting and inside the bunker and to stop a likely escalation into all-out war, Cochrane must use his years of knowledge and experience to unravel the conspiracy shrouding Gray Site. But even he doesn't know what the boy Safa is really doing in France, how their stories will converge--or if either of them will walk away alive.
