THE LAST AGENT by Robert Dugoni is out now.
An Amazon Charts, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal bestselling series!
“In bestseller Dugoni’s fast and furious sequel to 2019’s The Eighth Sister…Dugoni writes with such
immediacy that readers will feel as if they’re standing alongside Jenkins as he contemplates his next deathdefying move. Fans of espionage fiction are in for a high-octane thrill ride.” —Publishers Weekly
Robert Dugoni’s international spy thriller, The Eighth Sister, has been an instant critical and
commercial hit, garnering rave reviews from well-regarded crime writers and top reviewers and
dominating Amazon Charts, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. Roadside
Attractions snapped up the television rights for development, with its head of television Jennifer
Berman declaring the book “a perfect example of acquiring a bestseller that could not be more
timely or topical and tailormade for a series format.”
The author of three thriller series, with seventeen novels to his name, Dugoni has been heralded as
“one of the best crime writers in the business” (Associated Press) and a “superb storyteller” (Boston
Globe). Readers of all ages and backgrounds adore his signature blend of emotional and gutwrenching, character-driven suspense stories that are informed by his meticulous research and his
legal background.
This fall, former CIA officer Charles Jenkins returns in THE LAST AGENT (Thomas & Mercer;
September 22, 2020; releasing simultaneously in hardcover, paperback, audiobook and e-book
editions).
In this sequel, Jenkins is at home with his family, safe and retired, when he learns of a woman
isolated in Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo Prison. There’s a strong possibility that it’s Paulina
Ponomayova, the agent who sacrificed herself to save his life (in The Eighth Sister). If that’s the case,
Jenkins feels honor-bound to rescue her. The only way to find out for certain is to return to Russia.
Jenkins’s plan: to blackmail Viktor Federov, a former Russian officer with his own ax to grind, into
helping him infiltrate the notorious prison and break out Paulina. The enemy who once pursued
Jenkins across three continents is now the only man Jenkins can trust. They form an uneasy alliance,
and every step of the way—from Moscow to Scandinavia to the open ocean—they’re hunted by a
brutal Russian agent with a single-minded vendetta.
