I’m reading | The Tourist by Olen Steinhauer
Milo Weaver used to be a “tourist” for the CIA—an undercover agent with no home, no identity—but he’s since retired from the field to become a middle-level manager at the CIA’s New York headquarters. He’s acquired a wife, a daughter, and a brownstone in Brooklyn, and he’s tried to leave his old life of secrets and lies behind.
But when the arrest of a long-sought-after assassin sets off an investigation into one of Milo’s oldest colleagues and exposes new layers of intrigue in his old cases, he has no choice but to go back undercover and find out who’s holding the strings once and for all.

Mr. Steinhauer is a new-to-me author and a new sub-genre of thrillers I haven’t read yet: espionage. So I’m looking forward to The Tourist. This is the 1st book of a new trilogy.
