The Gryphon Heist

September 1, 2019
New CIA recruit Talia Inger has not been assigned to her dream job on the Russian Eastern Europe desk; instead, she's been sent to the Other division. Her first assignment appears pretty basic; she is to provide a security analysis for a high-tech research firm in Moldova that has developed a futuristic defense technology known as the Gryphon. But nothing is what it seems, not the project, which is stored in a high-altitude data vault, nor the people, including her civilian contact, Adam Tyler. Plus Taila is once again suffering through nightmares about her father's death?was it murder? Hannibal's (Shadow Catcher, 2013) background as a former US Air Force stealth bomber pilot comes through in the details and there is plenty of international action and intrigue in this heist thriller. Give this suspenseful tale, the launch of Hannibal's Clandestine Service series, to fans of James Rollins and Tom Clancy who are looking for something new.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
