Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author and Edgar Award winner Alex Berenson comes a supercharged thriller about marriage and the dangerous secrets spouses keep.

Rebecca and Brian Unsworth appear to have it all. A nice house in the suburbs of Washington, DC. Two well-behaved, healthy teenage children. Important government jobs—Rebecca working in counterterrorism for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Brian serving as a coder for the National Security Agency. Their lives stand to improve even more as Brian, in his off-hours, has just developed and sold a highly profitable app.

However, the Unsworths’ marriage isn’t as perfect as it seems. After two decades together, they’ve drifted apart, talking little and having sex even less. Seeking to revive their strained relationship, they decide for their twentieth wedding anniversary to take their two kids, Kira and Tony, on a European getaway.

They have a blast…until one night in Barcelona when Kira doesn’t come home from a dance club. She’s gone. Abducted. Over the course of a single weekend, the Unsworths will do everything possible to find her—as Kira herself discovers just how far she’ll go to break free of the trap that’s been set for her. And even as Rebecca and Brian come together for Kira, they realize their marriage is more tenuous than they realized.

The Power Couple is both a fast-paced, globe-trotting espionage novel full of surprising twists and a nuanced look at modern marriage—the challenges of balancing career, parenthood, sex, and love.

Let me start with, WOW! This is a true thriller, an enthralling book that is so engaging that I couldn’t stop reading it. The author weaves the stories of Brian and Rebecca Unsworth around the kidnapping of their college aged daughter during a vacation in Spain.

They are not a typical couple. Rebecca is an ambitious FBI employee, while Brian works for an elite unit of NSA. With the kidnapping of their daughter Kira, their perfect, powerful lives begin to unravel.Berenson shares the story of their relationship and their own histories.

Since I don’t want to spoil the exquisite tension, let me say, the reader won’t have a clue until the author decides to let us in on the underlying story.

I heartily recommend this book. I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying this extraordinary read.
There are few books that are as diverting as this during these stressful days. I feel so fortunate to have been a reader.

Thank you Netgalley for this ARC. Obviously, I really enjoyed this.
