Serpents in the City: A Mac Ambrose Novel

By H.N. Wake

A Senator. A blackmail plot. The dark side of cable news. Former CIA operative Mac Ambrose has spent twenty years protecting her country from overseas threats. Now she's focused on adjusting to civilian life and her new relationship in Philadelphia. The last thing she needs is to get pulled in to 'fix' another domestic problem. But events conspire against her. A friend begs for help: a popular Senator's troubles threaten the democratic institutions Mac has defended. A reluctant Mac soon uncovers a menacing blackmail plot emanating from a media conglomerate in Times Square. In a New York neighborhood, an unflappable FBI agent stumbles across a disturbing discovery--a private investigator has started surveilling a 24-hour cable news network. Unnerved by Mac's unofficial homecoming, the Mandarins in Langley dispatch a sinister tracker. Mac's operation, the FBI investigation, and Langley's hunt are swiftly entangled in a complex conspiracy with dire consequences. If you like Jack Ryan, Jack Reacher, Jason Bourne, and Lisbeth Salander, you will love Mac Ambrose. If you enjoy page-turning thrillers loaded with satisfyingly complex twists, sabotage, and intrigue, then the Mac Ambrose series is for you.
