This is the third book in the series following Milo Weaver, former employee in the top-secret CIA 'Department of Tourism'. The second book (The Next Exit) ended with the destruction of the Department of Tourism, and most of its members, by the Chinese secret service. This book picks up after those events, with some of the former players plotting revenge. Primary players are former 'Tourists' and their Chinese adversaries; other players involve a (fictional) intelligence group at the UN and the German secret service (BND).

Review of 'An American spy' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Really enjoyed the third book in the trilogy. The plot was impossible to predict, but Steinhauer always appears in control and I had no trouble trusting him to see where the story would go.

Can't wait to start his other series - five books about espionage in the Cold War, one per decade. Highly recommended.
