Synopsis

Red Sparrow is now a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joel Edgerton!

The thrilling sequel to Red Sparrow—CIA insider Jason Matthews’s compulsively readable New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award winner—featuring Russian spy Dominika Egorova and CIA agent Nate Nash “shimmers with authenticity. The villains are richly drawn...the scenes of them on the job are beyond chilling” (The New York Times Book Review).

Captain Dominika Egorova of the Russian Intelligence Service despises the oligarchs, crooks, and thugs of Putin’s Russia—but what no one knows is that she is also working for the CIA. Her “sparrow” training in the art of sexual espionage further complicates the mortal risks she must take, as does her love for her handler Nate Nash—a shared lust that is as dangerous as treason.

As Dominika expertly dodges exposure, she deals with a murderously psychotic boss, survives an Iranian assassination attempt and attempts to rescue an arrested double agent—and thwart Putin’s threatening flirtations. A grand, wildly entertaining ride through the steel-trap mind of a CIA insider, Palace of Treason is a story “as suspenseful and cinematic as the best spy movies” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)—one that feels fresh and so possible, in fact, that it’s doubtful this novel can ever be published in Russia.

Goodreads review by Jim on December 04, 2023

This is the second book of a trilogy. A new reader could jump in right here but that would be a disservice as the first book in this series was excellent. In this one Dominika returns home to Russia as a successful agent. What the powers to be do not know is that she is now an agent for the United S......more

Read the review of the Red Sparrow Trilogy at my blog I had a blast reading Palace of Treason. It has everything you need from a spy thriller - sex, violence, mind games and betrayals; with the same authenticity as Red Sparrow. There is a main plot but it is for name's sake. It takes back seat to the......more

Goodreads review by Otis on August 10, 2018

Another fast paced thriller that I couldn’t put down. Matthews takes the story of Nate and Dominika even further and to places I couldn’t have predicted. As with the first Red Sparrow, book two feels like an insight into what spy craft must really be like. I found it very interesting to learn more ab......more
