In this brilliant debut thriller, reminiscent of the works of John le Carre and Olen Steinhauer and infused with the authenticity of the authorโs travels, a young American State Department intern based in Turkey becomes โthe woman who knows too muchโ and is marked for death.
Penny Kessler, an intern at the US Embassy in Ankara, Turkey, wakes up in a hospital on the morning of July 5th to find herself at the center of an international crisis. The day before, the Embassy was the target of a devastating terrorist attack that killed hundreds of Pennyโs friends and colleagues. Not only has a photograph of Penny as she emerged from the rubble become the eventโs defining image, but for reasons she doesnโt understand, her bosses believe sheโs a crucial witness.
Suddenly, everyone is intensely interested in what Penny knows. But what does she know? And whom can she trust? As she struggles to piece together her memories, she discovers that Zach Robson, the young diplomat sheโd been falling for all summer, went missing during the attack. And one of the CIAโs most powerful officials, Christina Ekdahl, wants people to believe Zach was a traitor.
What actually happened?
Penny barely has time to ask before she discovers that her own government wants her dead. Soon, with only a single allyโa rookie intelligence officer fresh out of the Navyโshe is running a perilous gauntlet, ruthlessly pursued by Turkeyโs most powerful forces and by the CIA.
To survive, Penny must furiously improvise. Tradecraft takes a lifetime to master. She has less than thirty-six hours. And sheโs only twenty-one years old. This is her first real testโone she canโt fail.
