My Friend the Spy

By Roberta Seret

My Friend the Spy takes readers into the shadowy world of international espionage, where secrets surface and spies are unmasked against the volatile backdrop of modern-day Belarus. Fact and fiction intertwine to illuminate the ruthless politics of the moment, where love and passion collide with war and tyranny. The story centers on Sybil Edwards, a film professor and aspiring spy novelist, who discovers that her teaching assistant at the United Nations has close ties to Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. What begins as a writer's opportunity--a chance to understand a tyrant from the inside--quickly becomes something far more dangerous, as Sybil's student becomes entangled in the brutal power struggles of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia.
