The basis for the hit Netflix series. A "paranoid, pulse-pounding thriller that could not be more prescient" (Joseph Finder) about one FBI's agents' attempt to unravel an international conspiracy that Lee Child calls 'irresistible.'" At 1:05 A.M. the phone rings. A terrified young woman named Rose tells FBI Agent Peter Sutherland that two people have just been murdered and that the killer might still be in the house with her. One of the victims gave her this phone number with urgent instructions: "Tell them OSPREY was right. It's happening..." The call thrusts FBI Agent Peter Sutherland into the heart of a conspiracy years in the making, involving a Russian mole at the highest levels of the U.S. government. Anyone in the White House could be the traitor. Anyone could be corrupted. To save the nation, Peter must take the rules into his own hands, question everything, and trust no one. The Night Agent marks the return of the classic conspiracy thriller, and "drips with the kind of eye for the telling detail that only a canny reporter, detective or spy possesses."
