Synopsis

Mulholland Books presents... THE RIGHT HAND

Theft. Kidnapping. Assassination.

There are some acts no government can sanction. There are some things all politicians must deny. Sometimes the left hand cannot know what the right hand is doing. Austin Clay is that right hand.

His latest task: to track down a fellow CIA operative who has gone missing near Moscow. But nothing is what it seems, and he soon finds himself protecting a desperate woman with a deadly secret.

Clay has always preferred to work on his own. But this time he has no choice - and no idea who to trust.

From Booklist

CIA operative Austin Clay—known in the Agency as the Right Hand, because the left hand can’t know what he’s doing—is just the kind of asset every spy organization wants: a smart and effective tracker and killer with his own sense of right and wrong. When he’s assigned to find an American agent missing from his Moscow office, Clay finds that Marika Csontos, a young Hungarian woman who inadvertently learned Russian secrets, is involved. Soon Clay is on a chase across Europe trying to get Marika to safety, find the high-level traitor who’s been selling out the CIA for decades, and prevent an assassination inside the organization. With his skills honed by an abysmal childhood, Clay operates outside the lines, ignoring orders when necessary to get the job done—and get it done he does. Screenwriter Haas, author of the three Silver Bear books and screenplays including 3:10 to Yuma, spins a riveting page-turner with just the kind of sharp dialogue one would expect from someone who writes for the movies. Readers will want to see more of Austin Clay. --Michele Leber
