Disaffected millennial CIA officer Ari Falk is thrown into a moral and professional crisis by the death of his best asset. Brash, troubled LA heiress Maya Chou is spiraling after the disappearance of her Russian American billionaire father. Neither knows they are on a collision course.
“As smart and morally complex as John le Carre, as darkly funny as Slow Horses, and with all the fast-paced global action of the Jason Bourne series, The Collaborators is as good as 21st-century espionage thrillers get”
U.S. Paperback Edition

“Crackles with energy as it veers between international caper and more classic espionage thriller, laced with the promise of romance. Idov . . . brings a pleasing cinematic sweep, insider knowledge of Russia and sharp dialogue to this enjoyable tale as it roams around the world” — Financial Times
MORE PRAISE FOR THE COLLABORATORS
“A hell of an espionage thriller – thoroughly modern and frighteningly relevant, yet with clear reverence for the genre’s roots . . . I did not want to put this book down”
— Alex DeMille, New York Times bestselling author of Blood Lines
“The Collaborators is a terrific espionage thriller with a propulsive plot and fantastic twists, but what really sets this book apart is the writing, sparkling on every page”
— Chris Pavone, New York Times bestselling author of The Expats and Two Nights in Lisbon
“Compulsively readable, with more twists than a bar full of martinis, The Collaborators takes a deep dive into global espionage, what-ifs, and the things we do for those we love."
