The Prisoner's Wife

“The Prisoner's Wife grabs you by the throat on the first page, and never lets go…Gerard Macdonald is the real deal."—John Gilstrap, New York Times bestselling author of Threat Warning and Nathan's Run

The Prisoner’s Wife is a political thriller ripped from today’s headlines – a tense trip through the murky worlds of state-sponsored terrorism, nuclear politics, secret American jails and lawless rendition. Shawn Maguire, unemployed American spy, has been paid to find a young Iranian now being interrogated in one of the CIA’s black prisons. The prisoner may be in Fes, in Cairo or in Peshawar, but Shawn has every confidence that he’ll find his man. Based on his time as an agent, it’s an assignment he knows he can handle. But he’s not so sure he can handle… the prisoner’s wife.
