"A Spy Among Us" is the third novel in the trilogy of FBI Special Agent Christie Cole. Set in Moscow, the reader follows a plot similar to the real-life intelligence hacking seen in contemporary news reports. A wife and mother, Christie's assignment to the International Joint Terrorism Task Force takes her to the heart of espionage and murder. Working with fellow agents in the cover of a German travel agency, Christie assumes the persona of a Russian accountant, Eva Durov. As the lead agent, she is torn by agency data breaches that have lead to the assassination of Task Force agents, and her true character as a wife and mother. Her dual roles are conflicted by her relationship with Russian Army Colonel Pytor Popov. Whether as a spy or a loving wife and mother, she walks a thin line between spies and counterspies, her heartfelt love for her husband and child, and the masculine companionship on the Russian officer. This final episode follows Christi Cole's other assignments in "Voices in the Fog," and "The Arrows of Allah." ABOUT THE AUTHOR Chief Thomas J. Nichols' law enforcement career began in the Tucson, Arizona, Police Department. He retired as Deputy Chief from that department to accept the position as Chief of Police of the Lubbock, Texas, Police Department. Chief Nichols later retired from municipal policing to accept the challenges of a rapidly changing society by establishing the Lubbock School District Police Department. During his nearly fifty-year police career, Chief Nichols held numerous assignments on local and state boards and commissions that address the issue of crime and violence. He has published local, regional, state and national articles and journals on policing techniques and school safety, and has penned an award winning novel which has been optioned to become a major Hollywood film. His recent novel, The Arrows of Allah, was named the 2018 winner for "Most Realistic Novel," by the Texas Authors Assoc. A graduate of the University of Arizona, magna cum laude, the chief also graduated from the FBI National Academy, the FBI Executive Development Program, the Senior Management Institute for Police, and many other training programs on organized crime, narcotic and dangerous drug investigations, and executive protection. Married and a father of two grown children, the chief resides on the Llano Estacado of Texas.

A history of Americans who spied against their country and what their stories reveal about national security What’s your secret? American Spies presents the stunning histories of more than forty Americans who spied against their country during the past six decades. Michael Sulick, former head of the CIA’s clandestine service, illustrates through these stories—some familiar, others much less well known—the common threads in the spy cases and the evolution of American attitudes toward espionage since the onset of the Cold War. After highlighting the accounts of many who have spied for traditional adversaries such as Russian and Chinese intelligence services, Sulick shows how spy hunters today confront a far broader spectrum of threats not only from hostile states but also substate groups, including those conducting cyberespionage. Sulick reveals six fundamental elements of espionage in these stories: the motivations that drove them to spy; their access and the secrets they betrayed; their tradecraft, or the techniques of concealing their espionage; their exposure; their punishment; and, finally, the damage they inflicted on America’s national security. The book is the sequel to Sulick’s popular Spying in America: Espionage from the Revolutionary War to the Dawn of the Cold War. Together they serve as a basic introduction to understanding America’s vulnerability to espionage, which has oscillated between peacetime complacency and wartime vigilance, and continues to be shaped by the inherent conflict between our nation’s security needs and our commitment to the preservation of civil liberties. Now available in paperback, with a new preface that brings the conversation up to the present, American Spies is as insightful and relevant as ever.
