Bøger i Milo Weaver serien

The brilliant second novel in Olen Steinhauer's New York Times bestselling Milo Weaver espionage series, The Nearest Exit is republished with an all new package. "This is a classic spy novel, but it's Weaver's angst that lifts the book to a compelling level of freshness." -USA TodayFaced with the potential dissolution of his marriage and the end of his quiet, settled life, reluctant spy Milo Weaver has no choice but to return to his old job as a "tourist" for the CIA. But before he can get back to the dirty work of espionage, he has to prove his worth to his new bosses. Armed with a stack of false identities, Milo heads back to Europe, and for nearly three months every assignment is executed perfectly. Then he's instructed to kill the fifteen-year-old daughter of Moldovan immigrants, and make the body disappear. No questions. For Milo, it's an impossible task, but ignoring his handlers is equally untenable. Suddenly he's in a dangerous position, caught between right and wrong, between powerful self-interested foes, between patriots and traitors-especially now that he has nothing left to lose.

In The Tourist, Olen Steinhauer-twice nominated for the Edgar Award-tackles an intricate story of betrayal and manipulation, loyalty and risk, in an utterly compelling novel that is both thoroughly modern and yet also reminiscent of the espionage genre's most touted luminaries."Here's the best spy novel I've ever read that wasn't written by John le Carré." -Stephen King, Entertainment WeeklyIn Olen Steinhauer's explosive New York Times bestseller, Milo Weaver has tried to leave his old life of secrets and lies behind by giving up his job as a "tourist" for the CIA-an undercover agent with no home, no identity-and working a desk at the CIA's New York headquarters. But staying retired from the field becomes impossible when the arrest of a long-sought-after assassin sets off an investigation into one of Milo's oldest colleagues and friends. With new layers of intrigue being exposed in his old cases, he has no choice but to go back undercover and find out who's been pulling the strings once and for all.*BONUS CONTENT: This edition of The Tourist includes a new introduction from the author and a discussion guide
