The Prodigal

By Susan May Warren and Susan K. Downs

Book Overview

A generational secret could change everything...

She came for answers... but found a mission she never expected.

Kat Moore, a determined American, arrives in Moscow only to find herself embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the KGB. With only a cryptic key and a longing to uncover her murky past, Kat's search for truth drives her deeper into the shadows of a city that holds the secrets of her heritage.

Vadeem Spasonov, a seasoned FSB agent, thrives on the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of keeping his country safe from smugglers like the elusive Grazovich. When he encounters Kat, he initially suspects her of being a pawn in Grazovich's schemes. Vadeem's mission swiftly shifts from capturing a criminal to protecting the headstrong American who inadvertently makes herself a target.

Together, Kat and Vadeem navigate the treacherous waters of espionage and betrayal. As they edge closer to unraveling the mysteries of Kat's family, they realize that the stakes are higher than either of them could have imagined. If they fail, Kat might never learn the truth about her past, and Vadeem could lose his chance at capturing a notorious criminal-or worse, lose Kat to the dangerous game they're playing.

intriguing start to the series

I know the original series (Heirs of Anton) released between 2004-2005 and it is one of the few series by Susan May Warren that I have not read yet. So I was very excited to see the updated version with new covers and titles and jumped on the chance to read the series. As I was reading the book, I needed to keep reminding myself that the story was originally set in the early 2000, so the world and technology were different then. Once I settled myself back in time, I was able to immerse myself completely in Russia and in Kat and Vadeem's lives. The plot moved quickly and the action was intense and fast-paced. The mystery behind Kat's relics was fascinating and I loved how the puzzle pieces slowly came together to paint the overarching picture. Kat's impulsive nature was balanced out by Vadeem's cautious and methodical one. Kat's family history was wild and left me with more questions at the end of the book, which I hope will be answered in the subsequent books in the series. I received a complimentary copy courtesy of SDG Publishing and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
