Serpents in the City (A Mac Ambrose Novel Book 3)
A Senator. A blackmail plot. The dark side of a media empire.
Former CIA operative Mac Ambrose has spent twenty years protecting her country from overseas threats. Now she’s focused on adjusting to civilian life and her new relationship in Philadelphia. The last thing she needs is to get pulled in to ‘fix’ another national problem.
But events conspire against her. A friend begs for help: a popular Senator is in trouble so deep that it threatens the very democratic institutions Mac has so vigorously defended. A reluctant Mac soon uncovers a menacing blackmail plot emanating from a cable news, media conglomerate in New York City.
In the New York neighborhood of Alphabet City, an unflappable FBI agent stumbles across a disturbing discovery—a private investigator has started surveilling a 24-hour cable news network in Times Square.
Unnerved by Mac’s unofficial homecoming, the Mandarins in Langley dispatch a toughened Agency operative to track her down.
Mac’s operation, the FBI investigation, and Langley’s hunt are swiftly engulfed in a race to untangle a complex conspiracy with dire consequences.
Gritty politics, dark conspiracies, personal atonement and a dash of zeitgeist combine into one satisfyingly intricate novel that only an insider could have written.
