Robert Dugoni discusses The Silent Sisters

Robert Dugoni in conversation with Barbara Peters.  Dugoni discusses his new novel, The Silent Sisters.

Dugoni, Robert. The Silent Sisters (Thomas & Mercer $24.95). 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.
The PW Starred Review adds: “Bestseller Dugoni’s electrifying third espionage thriller featuring CIA agent Charles Jenkins opens with Jenkins hanging from a hook in a meat market in Irkutsk, Russia, where his interrogators are threatening to put him through a meat grinder. Many riveting, hairbreadth escapes follow as he remains intent on accomplishing his mission. This entry works as a standalone, but will send newcomers to read the earlier books,” both of which I highly recommend. The Eighth Sister; The Last Agent ($15.95 each). The first involves a horribly risky escape from Russia via Turkey executed by former CIA case officer Charles Jenkins, the second reversing it as Jenkins goes on a crazy rescue mission.
