About this listen

2023 Audie Award Finalist for Best Male Narrator

An Amazon Charts, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal bestselling series.

In this pulse-racing thriller by the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Agent, an American sleeper cell in Russia goes silent—and it’s one man’s duty to find them.

After a harrowing escape from Russian agents on his last mission, Charles Jenkins thinks he’s finally done with the spy game. But then the final two of the seven sisters—American assets who have been deep undercover in Russia for decades—cut off all communication with their handlers. Are they in hiding after detecting surveillance? Or have they turned and become double agents? It’s Jenkins’s duty to find out, but he’s been added to a Russian kill list. It will require all of Jenkins’s knowledge of spycraft—and an array of disguises—to return to the country undetected.

But plans go awry his first night in Moscow when Jenkins gets involved in an altercation that ends in the death of the son of one of Russia’s most powerful organized crime leaders. Pursued by mafia henchmen, Russian agents, and a particularly dogged Moscow police detective, Jenkins is determined to track down the final two sisters and get them to America—or die trying. As various forces close in, Jenkins fears this time he might’ve pushed his luck too far.

Critic reviews

“For an audiobook set primarily in Moscow, having a narrator such as Edoardo Ballerini, who can handily discharge Russian phrases and provide a convincing local accent, is essential. In this third volume in the Charles Jenkins series, Ballerini sturdily voices the intrepid spy, who returns to Russia to locate two missing double agents despite his being on a kill list…. Ballerini is equally adept at bringing to life the pugnacious men hunting Jenkins and the two spy "sisters" who are his objectives. The result is a pulse-pounding listen.”AudioFile Magazine

“Narrator Edoardo Ballerini reads both male and female characters well, providing appropriate Russian accents and pronunciations of Russian words. Listeners of spy novels and Dugoni fans will enjoy this audiobook.”Library Journal

“Dugoni’s electrifying third espionage thriller featuring CIA agent Charles Jenkins (after 2020’s The Last Agent) opens with Jenkins hanging from a hook in a meat market in Irkutsk, Russia…Many riveting, hairbreadth escapes follow as he remains intent on accomplishing his mission.”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Excellent third book! I do hope the author continues this series. Characters are now so well developed and known to stop writing more.

Superb.

such a good listen.

I liked this whole series. It’s a bit daft and full of superannuated spies pulling off unlikely escapes but mad gangsters and a dogged but sad police inspector make for fun reading.
