A CIA analyst hunting a conspiracy that leads to the Oval Office. A paramilitary operative confronting his grief on a path of retribution. A Russian agent hiding in plain sight. Jason Matthews’s Red Sparrow meets Jack Carr’s The Terminal List in Beyond Honor, a debut political thriller that plunges readers into a world of international espionage, where loyalty and duty are tested.

Whitney Skyler’s investigation into a Russian-backed bank on American soil leads to the President of the United States. CIA paramilitary operative Kevin Rhoads, a man forged in war zones, is shattered by loss. Recruited for a solo extraction mission deep inside Siberia, he discovers a devastating betrayal.

At CIA headquarters, Director Cynthia King plays an audacious gambit, leveraging a thirty-year debt of honor to save a captured American agent. But in this world of shifting alliances, even the most careful plans can unravel.

Skyler faces an impossible choice: expose her mentor’s dangerous game to protect national security, or reveal to Rhoads, the man she loves, a truth that will transform him into a force of vengeance with death in his wake.

From the war-torn streets of Damascus to the merciless Siberian tundra, from the rugged Kenai Peninsula to the polished corridors of Langley, Virginia, Beyond Honor is a white-knuckled thriller about duty, betrayal, and the impossible choices made by those who serve in the shadows.
