About this listen

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Deceivers delivers a gripping John Wells thriller that takes readers into the darkest shadows of a silent war…

One morning, a former CIA agent is shot to death in the street. That night, an army vet is gunned down in his doorway. The next day, John Wells gets a phone call. Come to Langley. Now.

The victims were part of an interrogation team that operated out of a secret base in Poland called the Midnight House, where they worked over the toughest jihadis, extracting information by any means necessary. Now Wells must find out who is killing them. Islamic terrorists are the likeliest suspects, and Wells is uniquely qualified to go undercover and find them. But the trail of blood leads him to a place he couldn’t have imagined: Home.

Critic reviews

Praise for The Midnight House

“Berenson combines his thorough knowledge of the Middle East with an acquired sense of corporate intrigue in this bullet-paced, psychologically engaging tale of torture and espionage.”—The New York Times

“A superbly crafted spy thriller that doubles as a gripping mystery.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A refreshing hero, the anti–Jack Bauer...Cinematic firefights and fisticuffs.”—St. Petersburg Times

“Arguably Berenson’s best thriller yet.”—Library Journal

The Midnight House is the fourth book in this series.

John Wells, a CIA agent is continuing with his life without Exeley, away from the bustle of Langley when he is called back.

Members of a top secret 'special' rendition/ interrogation team are being killed many months after they have completed their service.

The story weaves back and forth between the present day, and investigation, and the capture and interrogation of prisoners at the secret site called The Midnight House.

Although this book raises ethical issues surrounding the interrogation teams, I felt that it lacked depth.

Narration, as always with Georgw Guidall, was excellent.

Not as good as the previous books in this series.

I really enjoyed this as I have done all of the others in the series. However I probably won’t buy another of Alex Berenson’s books given his views and opinions on “other matters”. Clearly writing fiction is his forte in all areas of his life

Another good book…but
