The Amateur Spy

The Amateur Spy by Dan Fesperman is a tense modern espionage thriller set in the uneasy years after 9/11. Freeman and Mila Lockhart, worn down by years of humanitarian aid work, hope to begin a quieter life on a Greek island. Instead, their peace is shattered when strangers with knowledge of Freeman’s past force him into a dangerous act of spying.

Blackmailed into watching an old Palestinian friend in Jordan, Freeman is pulled into a world of political suspicion, Middle Eastern conflict, and shifting loyalties. At the same time, a grieving Palestinian-American couple in Washington, D.C., becomes connected to the same dangerous web of secrets and consequences.

Smart, atmospheric, and suspenseful, The Amateur Spy is a strong choice for readers of spy fiction, political thrillers, international suspense, and intelligent post-9/11 espionage novel
