Ava Glass brings back the badass British Spy Emma Makepeace in an espionage thriller that has something for all spy-thriller fans, whether you prefer your spy stories to cater more to the cerebral nature of spying or if you want your spies to kick butts.
When an MI6 operative is murdered with all signs pointing to a targeted assassination, British spy Emma Makepeace is assigned the task of uncovering the assailants and working the trail back to the source. Emma goes undercover on a Russian oligarch’s million-dollar yacht as part of the infiltration. If being undercover miles and miles away from the closest support element isn’t enthralling enough, Emma has to work out the identity of someone who seems to be in cahoots with those behind the assassination, a traitor in the ranks who can compromise Emma and sentence her to brutal death.
The Traitor stands out tall in an ocean of spy thrillers, owing this distinction to Ava Glass’s brilliant creation that is Emma Makepeace. She’s a pistol. Not only does she dive headfirst into danger, she does so with the hint of a wicked smile. It’s not often we read a spy in the thrillerverse have fun spying. That’s not to say Emma doesn’t have her work cut out for her as she faces danger and betrayal at extremes, weaving varying tones of fun, excitement, and danger into the mix.
If you’re itching for a fast-paced espionage-laden read with fancy yachts, suspicious Russian oligarchs, and a heavy dose of frightening brushes with violent death, The Traitor is the easiest choice you’ll make.
