The Red Room

Ridley Pearson (Get this book)
Previous Risk Agent ops in Shanghai and Amsterdam featured Rutherford Risk operatives John Knox and Grace Chu on the hunt, but this installment is all about impossible escapes and elusive spycraft. The plan is for Knox and Chu to travel to Istanbul, broker the sale of a long-buried antiquity to one of Knox's current import/export clients, and finagle five minutes in the room with their mark, the client's brother. Another hit in this knockout thriller series featuring nonstop danger, casually clever descriptions of exotic locales, evolving characterization, and evenhanded sociopolitical commentary. Recommended for every beach bag.--Booklist
