Description
Alex Winter, a young CIA agent and brilliant
artist, is on assignment in London when she is confronted with a startling
sight—the father she’s believed dead for over twenty years. He subsequently
scuttles her mission, leaving her out in the cold and disappearing once
again, but this time Alex has the tools to follow.
Possessing an eidetic memory, one that allows her to draw her experiences with photographic precision, Alex also has advanced tradecraft training gained in a special CIA program—the one created by her father. Now Alex must navigate a battlefield of spies, face hard truths about The Company and her place in it, and uncover the international scandal at the center of it all: a stolen billion dollars.
Step by step, Alex is pulled deeper into a twisting labyrinth of corrupt high finance and global espionage, where she will need to employ every talent she possesses in order to find her father … and save herself.

Advance Praise
"THE SHADOW ARTIST is a classic spy story
wrapped in a contemporary thriller and driven by a modern-day female protagonist.
An artist by nature and a skilled operative by training, Alex Winter could
step into the ring with Reacher, Rapp, or even Rambo, and I give even odds as
to who would come out alive. Winter is exactly the sort of female hero I
love to read, and I can't wait to see what Grayson tests her with next."
-VICKI PETTERSSON, New York Times Bestselling author of SWERVE
"A plot that Nelson Demille would kill for, complete with propulsive action and twisted by secrets--both private and all-pervading--as heroine Alex Winter walks a high tightrope over order and obligation. Winter is an eidetic artist, but it is James Grayson who draws a memorable picture of greed and treachery. I couldn't put it down. Twice."
