“The Spy Among Us” is set in Moscow, Russia. The reader follows a plot similar to the real-life intelligence hacking seen in contemporary news reports.
A wife and mother, Christie Cole’s assignment to the International Joint Terrorism Task Force takes her to the heart of espionage and murder. Working with fellow agents, she assumes the persona of a Russian, Eva Durov. As the lead agent, she is emotionally drained by data breaches that have led to the assassinations of Task Force agents, and her true character as a wife and mother.
Her dual roles are further conflicted by her relationship with Russian Army Colonel Pytor Popov. Whether as a spy or a loving wife and mother, she walks a thin line between spies and counterspies, her heartfelt love for her husband and child, and the masculine companionship of the Russian officer.
The final episode follows Christie Cole’s other assignments in “Voices in the Fog” and “The Arrows of Allah.”
