To some, the spy thriller may seem like something of an anachronism or a fading genre. These fantastic books prove that there is still plenty of scope for a twisting tale of espionage and intrigue in the modern literary landscape.
Need To Know by Karen Cleveland
Before turning her hand to writing, Karen Cleveland worked for the Central Intelligence Agency, and she brings the benefit of that real-life experience to this fantastic novel, full of detail and insight. As well as one of the rare spy thrillers that depict a central protagonist with a healthy and homely family life, all contrasted against a prescient plot involving Russian sleeper agents nestled in the American population.
Who Is Vera Kelly? by Rosalie Knecht
In the grand tradition of John Le Carre, a master when it came to balancing geopolitical intrigue, page-turning action, and genuine literary craft, comes this fantastic novel from Rosalie Knecht. Featuring a complex and fascinating female protagonist who finds herself going from troubled New York teenager to U.S.S.R spy in Argentina, and then finds herself behind enemy lines and unexpected chaos after an unexpected coup d’état.
The Deceivers by Alex Berenson
Any spy thriller set in 2018 America is presented with a fascinating dichotomy, the reality of Russian involvement in U.S elections and with political figures offers tremendous scope for narratives. But, how do you write fiction when the reality is already so outlandish? Berenson does it by going back to the genre’s hard-boiled pulp roots, and by stretching a trail that leads all the way from a low-level drug sting in Texas to the White House.
