Advance Praise

“It’s the terrible last days of the Cold War. One enemy spy is selling secrets to the Russians. He’s intelligent, daring, and his code name may be Raven. Only one person stands in his way — Mev Hayes, a twenty-year- old computer whiz with red hair, an attitude, and a dark past. The result is a deadly, fascinating cat-and-mouse contest touched with moments of humanity and full of twists that will leave you breathless. Step into the cauldron of ambitious dreams and brilliant minds at a world-class MIT computer lab, and let the games begin! RAVEN by Robert T. Kelley is an engrossing brew!”

—Gayle Lynds, NYT bestselling author of The Assassins
