Slow Horses meets Red Sparrow in this electrifying spy thriller, as a disillusioned CIA officer infiltrates an extremist group in the heart of Europe.

The quiet exile of CIA officer Ari Falk, as he lays low in the Republic of Georgia, is shattered when a mission arises — one perfectly suited for someone as jaded and unpredictable as him.

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. 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.
