Vivian is a dedicated CIA analyst assigned to uncover the leaders of Russian sleeper cells in the U.S. She's hard at work, sifting through data and information to identify agents who appear to be normal people, living in plain sight. One day, she accesses a folder of deep-cover agents in America and then makes a confusing discovery: one of the photos is of her husband, Matt. Confusion turns to horror as Vivian discovers that Matt has been lying to her since they met, and has been working for the Russians the entire time. Now, their lives and the lives of their children, hang in the balance while Vivian tries to figure out what to do and who to protect.
I thought this book was okay, although I kept reading more out of curiosity than a compulsion to know what was going to happen. I found some elements of the story predictable, although I did like that Vivian kept going through her past, uncovering details that when viewed in the light of the new information about Matt, showed just how much about him she didn't know. The pacing definitely picks up as the story continues and the author's own background as a CIA analyst definitely comes through, as those parts of the story are written well and are very believable.
