Alex Dryden
Superspy Anna Resnikov is back in Alex Dryden’s latest, masterful international thriller— The Blind Spy Russia has never accepted Ukraine’s independence and now the Patrioti —Putin, his elder statesmen, and seasoned generals dedicated to rebuilding their fallen empire—are using the KGB’s controversial elite and clandestine forces of Department S to destabilize the young democratic nation and bring it back under Russian control. But Cougar, the powerful private intelligence company that overshadows even the CIA in its reach, learns of Russia’s plans and strikes at the heart of its plot with its own lethal weapon—the gorgeous ex–KGB colonel Anna Resnikov. More than a gifted spy and expert killer, Anna lost the love of her life and the father of her child at the hands of her former countrymen.
