The intel was a hook. The meeting was a setup. And the target was always her.
Ukrainian-born CIA operative Kara Chorna doesn't make mistakes. Trained in the field, fluent in deception, and built for assignments that don't exist on paper - she is exactly the kind of operative the Agency deploys when nothing can go wrong.
In Caracas, everything goes wrong.
Taken before her mission even begins, Kara finds herself face to face with a former Russian GRU officer who knows her real name - not her cover, not her alias. Her name. And he isn't asking about CIA operations.
He's asking about her father.
Back at Langley, the official verdict is simple: Kara Chorna is dead. But her field supervisor Jason Waycross has spent enough time in the dark to know when the Agency is lying - and he knows Kara well enough to know she wouldn't go down without a fight. When every official door closes, he goes off-book - pulling together a covert team to find her before she disappears into the kind of silence that has no explanation.
Because in this business, some people aren't lost by accident.
OUT OF BOUNDS: CONVERGENCE is a high-stakes CIA espionage thriller built on authentic tradecraft, geopolitical intrigue, and a conspiracy that begins in Crimea and ends in Caracas - with one operative caught in the middle of something she was never supposed to survive.
For readers who want their spy fiction without shortcuts. For fans of Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy.
