Safe Houses
(Knopf, 2018)
In 1979, Helen Abell is overseeing the CIA’s network of West Berlin safe houses for agents and officers in the dangerous milieu of the Cold War. Her world implodes when she overhears one unsettling meeting between two agents and then witnesses a second. On the run, Helen attempts to expose the truth about what she learned. Repercussions reach into the present, when two people are gruesomely murdered on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. Helen’s daughter, Anna, takes up the cause, chasing down secrets from her mother’s past.
