Damascus Station is one of the purest spy novels I’ve read this year. A volatile mix of traditional espionage plotlines intertwined with a modern level of action and violence that had me flipping pages until the early morning hours.
When it comes to high risk assignments, being a CIA case officer in Syria is near the top of the list. Sam Joseph is sent to Paris in order to recruit a government employee prior to beginning his assignment in Damascus. When the relationship between his beautiful asset crosses the professional lines, a series of betrayals, lies, and deaths follow.
As a supporting cast of colorful characters assist Sam in his endeavor, Assad has his own spy hunter tasked with hunting down how his secret chemical weapon caches are being uncovered. In this do or die game of cat and mouse, there can be only one victor… but no one comes out unscathed.
If you are a fan of le Carre or Jason Matthews… David McCloskey’s books are going to become must reads.
