See all formats and editions
Codename Chessmaster is a smart and methodical project manager for the CIA but his career has stalled for seven years since the large-scale failure of the Agency’s most expensive project, Caprice. Now based in Venezuela, Chessmaster has found overwhelming evidence regarding the presence of a mole within the Agency. Chessmaster hasn’t been promoted since Caprice and doesn’t have access to information to track the mole. He reaches out to his former lover and mentor, Senior Officer Georgia Standing. Standing can track the mole but needs someone else to rescue Chessmaster, now imprisoned in Venezuela. She turns to a man she has been trying to find for seven years, the man who brought down Project Caprice, Reagan Lee. Lee was recruited by Chessmaster and Standing and holds a grudge against them both—his reason for destroying Caprice. Lee has reluctantly agreed to help, however Standing isn’t sure she can trust him. Afterall, the Agency considers him the most dangerous man alive.

I'm someone who is overwhelmed by a compelling story. Doesn't matter the genre, but I prefer to write thrillers. After living for years in Europe, I now live in the US where I am working on a present day murder mystery, The Wisest.

Best novel I have ever read. The author weaves multiple stories together to give life to a protagonist unlike any other in literature. The settings are described with such vivid detail and clear background research that the reader feels like a trip around the world has literally been taken. The story is told with clever puzzles the reader is given an opportunity to solve along with the protagonist. The book is well written in such a way that it tells its complete story but clearly can be read as the introduction to a new clandestine hero, leaving room for it to be the beginning of a new series.

This book stands up there with authors like John le Carré. Lovely twist, extensive plot, great character development, fast paced and you are never sure what is coming next. I could not put it down, I was up 2 a.m. reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Spoilers! Good read!
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2015
I don't usually go for action books but this one was recommended to me. I almost didn't start reading it bc I was intimidated by the length of the first book. I thought there is no way my interest would stay peaked! Ha! Even when I thought I'd figured out what would happen it was still exciting. When I realized I was wrong, I knew I'd have to finish the series!

4 stars bc there was part (or two) that was a bit tedious for me to read but reading through it was totally worth it!

This book takes advantage of an overarching Plot which is pretty straight - forward, the hunt foe a double-agent within the CIA. Against this back drop< the book explores the relationship between the agents who are hunting the double-agent and balancing the agency's interest in finding the double agent against saving their own.
