Publisher Description
Now a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton!
From veteran CIA officer Jason Matthews, the electrifying, New York Times bestselling modern spy thriller, Red Sparrow.
In contemporary Russia, state intelligence officer Dominika Egorova has been drafted to become a “Sparrow”—a spy trained in the art of seduction to elicit information from their marks. She’s been assigned to Nathaniel Nash, a CIA officer who handles the organization’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 America’s valuable mole in Moscow.
For fans of John le Carré and Ian Fleming and featuring “high-level espionage, pulse-pounding danger, sex, double agents, and double crosses” (Nelson DeMille), Red Sparrow is a timely and electrifying thriller that is impossible to put down.

"I really loved this book. The characters have such strong personalities. I finished the book then saw the movie. Don't waste your time on the movie...it just lacks all the intrigue and doesn't end well. This book is written in modern time and involves Putin! So every time I hear about him on the news, I think of this book....great fun read!!"

" I really enjoyed this book. I wanted to read it before I saw the movie. I got 3/4 thru then went to the movie. I really didn't like the movie because so much of the book was left out! The characters were so much more believable than the movie. Then I finished the book...not the same ending...even close!! The book is so very good. "
