Publisher Description
Slow Horses meets Red Sparrow in this electrifying spy thriller and follow-up to The Collaborators, where a disillusioned CIA officer infiltrates an extremist group in the heart of Europe.
Disheartened CIA officer Ari Falk, now hiding in the Republic of Georgia, is hailed as a hero by some and branded a traitor by others after blowing the lid off a massive conspiracy. But his quiet exile is shattered when a mission arises—one perfectly suited for someone as jaded and unpredictable as him.
This stand-alone sequel thrusts us into a modern era of geopolitical conflict, where a hot war in Europe and shadowy political schemes set the stage for danger at every turn. Enter Asha Tamaskar, a brilliant, neurodivergent CIA officer with her own secrets, and Felix Burnham, a chilling antagonist with radical alliances that could change the global balance of power. From Tbilisi to Prague, Andorra to Bethesda, Idov crafts vivid, authentic settings that amplify the pulse-pounding action.
Far from the usual spy thriller, The Cormorant Hunt is brimming with razor-sharp dialogue, heart-stopping twists, and complex character dynamics that bring humanity to the chaos. Every border crossed carries real-world consequences, making this a thriller that feels both urgent and unforgettable. Blending suspense, wit, and authentic storytelling, it’s a must-read for fans of political intrigue, espionage, and thrillers that don’t play by the rules.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Brilliant but jaded spy Ari Falk is back in Michael Idov’s kinetic follow-up to The Collaborators. (You don’t need to read that one first, but it’s fun.) This time, Ari is in self-imposed exile in the Republic of Georgia after detonating a major international intelligence scandal. When a former ally is murdered, he gets pulled into a new operation that plunges him deep into the tangled world of modern extremism and weaponized ideology. Teaming up with razor-sharp CIA analyst Asha Tamaskar, he’s soon chasing a threat that stretches from Eastern Europe to the American suburbs. Idov excels at blending high-stakes, morally grey espionage with dark humour and lightning-speed plotting. Idov’s spies are flawed professionals navigating a world where everyone’s motives are suspect and no one’s hands are completely clean. The Cormorant Hunt is a fast, funny spy thriller that feels unmistakably of the moment.
