The Ghost War by Alex Berenson
The Ghost War is the sequel to The Faithful Spy, which won the 2007 Edgar Award for Best First Novel. CIA agent John Wells is back in Washington, restless and irritable as he awaits his next mission. When the CIA finds evidence of a surge in Taliban activity, backed by an unknown foreign power, Wells eagerly returns to Afghanistan to investigate. But what he discovers is far from what he expected.
A deadly power play in China, a mission to North Korea gone terribly wrong, a mole within the ranks of the CIA who is about to light a fuse, the consequences of which he cannot possibly understand -- the world is hurtling toward confrontation. And, this time, there may be nothing John Wells can do to stop it.
"Terrific and relentless suspense and action" – Kirkus Reviews
"John Wells confronts a very different threat in this pulse-pounding sequel" -- Publishers Weekly
