Dueling Six Demons: A Dangerous Clique Novel

By Jim Geraghty

The CIA's Dangerous Clique: the spies that the bad guys worry about, and the other good guys whisper about.

As Katrina Leonidivna and Alec Flanagan acclimate to the stress of new parenthood-only marginally easier than thwarting international terrorism-the rest of the Dangerous Clique team stares down middle age, yearning for a saner balance between home life and hunting down threats to the innocent.

For the first time, the Clique has even endeavored to pluck some talented new recruits from the CIA's training ground to join their rambunctious, officially unacknowledged ranks. But deep down, the team worries that no one is as capable of bringing the world's notorious bad guys to justice as they are.

Back on the job, Katrina and Alec return to an Agency whose morale has hit rock bottom after a disastrous hack, possibly by a powerful new breed of supercomputer, shaking the intelligence world to its core. The United States isn't the only victim of the explosive breach, which threatens to obliterate the very notion of online secrecy and send the world back to a pre-Internet age existence in which nothing digital can be trusted, and the Internet itself faces extinction.

As if all that wasn't enough, the Clique is gathering clues-to the Rationalists on the team's and their bureaucratic higher-ups' dismay-about a strange, supernatural, and possibly even demonic link between their former adversaries that seems to defy any logical explanation and may be lurking far closer to home than they realize.

Stretching from the battlefields of Ukraine, to the bizarre streets of Transnistria, to the beaches of the Maldives, to the skyscrapers of Taiwan, DUELING SIX DEMONS is the Dangerous Clique at the top of their action-packed, witty, take-no-prisoners form.

Jim Geraghty is the senior political correspondent of National Review and a contributing columnist to The Washington Post. In recent years, he's reported from notorious trouble spots like wartime Ukraine, Taiwan, Transnistria, and Des Moines, Iowa.
