I’ve read a lot of Dugonis books. A lot of the Tracy Crosswhite series and some of his stand alone books and I loved all of them. Given that, I was delighted to find out he had written a new book - The Eighth Sister. This is a spy thriller of sorts but not necessarily the book I thought it was going to be.

Although he finds relief reading Harry Potter to his son at night, thoughts about finances and the future trouble him. When Carl Emerson, his former CIA station chief contacts him, Charlie is intrigued. Charlie walked away from the CIA forty years ago, but when Emerson presents him with a mission
The first half of this novel is a real roller-coaster with cold war style undercover espionage in Moscow and a heart stopping manhunt across Europe. The second half segues into a legal drama, which is no less riveting. The main character Charlie Jenkins, a former CIA agent for a short time in the 1970s has bought himself some real trouble when financial difficulties and a family to support lead him to accept an undercover job for the CIA in Moscow where he has business dealings.
