Alex Berenson's debut novel The Faithful Spy was my last book of the year. A satisfying conclusion; I liked it a lot. It's a thriller about CIA agent John Wells who has infiltrated al Qaeda, and has converted to Islam during his years in the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Now that the masterminds have called him back to the US for a big mission, can the CIA still count on him, or will he cross them? The next installment featuring John Wells is due out in paperback in February; I'm looking forward to it.
