Descripción editorial
Evan Ryder is back in The Kobalt Dossier, the stunning follow-up to The Nemesis Manifesto from New York Times bestselling author Eric Van Lustbader.
After thwarting the violent, international, fascist syndicate known as Nemesis, Evan Ryder returns to Washington, D.C., to find her secret division of the DOD shut down and her deceased sister’s children missing. Now the target of a cabal of American billionaires who were among Nemesis’s supporters, Evan and her former boss, Ben Butler, must learn to work together as partners – and navigate their intricate past.
Their search will take them from Istanbul to Odessa to an ancient church deep within the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. And all along the way, an unimaginable enemy stalks in the shadows, an adversary whose secretive past will upend Evan’s entire world and everything she holds dear.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of bestseller Lustbader's exciting sequel to 2020's The Nemesis Manifesto, Evan Ryder, a former field agent for a now dismantled intelligence unit funded by the Department of Defense, learns that her sister, Bobbi Fisher, who Evan thinks was murdered three years earlier, was a traitor working for Russian intelligence. Bobbi's children, nine-year-old Michael and 11-year-old Wendy, have gone missing, but before Evan and partner Ben Butler, who's her former boss, can begin looking for them, Evan is briefly abducted. Meanwhile in Russia, Bobbi, who works for an ultra-secret SVR group, is ordered to continue to try to infiltrate a religious cult, even though she previously failed to identify the cult's leader and the location of its home base. The narrative shifts between Bobbi and Evan, with interludes provided by various Russian politicians, spymasters, and Michael and Wendy. Lustbader does a fine job building suspense as he gradually reveals the complicated connections among the various players. This is a masterly performance by an author who's still fresh and original after a long career in a genre he helped define.
