The new neighbor : a novel / Karen Cleveland.

Cleveland, Karen, (author.).

Summary:

"A CIA analyst with an empty nest, a broken marriage, and nothing to lose risks her life to crack an unsolvable case in this utterly gripping thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know. 'Use the children' is a phrase picked up in a Chinese intelligence intercept, the one that convinced CIA analyst Beth Bradford to take on the case that would haunt her ever since. She will not rest until she tracks down The Neighbor, a highly dangerous recruiting agent who preys on high-value, vulnerable intelligence targets in hopes they might betray their own country. But Beth's life's work has come at the expense of her family, and things are beginning to fall apart. She dropped off her youngest at college and her husband has moved out, the consequence of years of neglecting their marriage. And then, the CIA moves her off the impossible Chinese counterintelligence assignment that she's given her life to. She can't make her kids young again. She can't convince her husband they share something they don't. But this case is different. It's something she can change. She'll find the information she's looking for, one way or another, because she's close to finding The Neighbor. She can feel it. She has to be. Because right now, she has nothing else. And The Neighbor might be right under her nose"-- Provided by publisher.

Summary

The New Neighbor : A Novel


Secrets, jealousy, and paranoia collide when a seemingly perfect new family moves into a neighborhood with ties to the CIA in this gripping thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know . "Karen Cleveland ingeniously melds domestic intrigue with the lightning pace of a spy thriller, showing us the devastating personal costs of intelligence work."--Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of Listen to Me ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugar Idyllic neighborhood, perfect family, meaningful career. CIA analyst Beth Bradford has it all-- Until she doesn't. Now, facing an empty nest and a broken marriage, Beth is moving from the cul-de-sac she's long called home, and the CIA is removing her from the case that's long been hers: tracking an elusive Iranian intelligence agent known as The Neighbor. Madeline Sterling moves into Beth's old house. She has what Beth once had: an adoring husband, three beautiful young children, and the close-knit group of neighbors on the block. Now she has it all. And Beth--who can't stop watching the woman stepping in to her old life--thinks the new neighbor has something else too: ties to Iranian intelligence. Is Beth just jealous? Paranoid? Or is something more at play? After all, most of the families on the cul-de-sac have some tie to the CIA. They're all keeping secrets. And they all know more about their neighbors than they should. It would be the perfect place to insert a spy--unless one was there all along.
