The Power Couple

By Alex Berenson

Book Overview

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

Rebecca and Brian Unsworth appear to have it all: a nice house in a Washington, ?DC, suburb; two well-behaved teenagers; and high-pressure government careers--Rebecca in FBI counterterrorism and Brian as an NSA coder. Brian even developed and sold a profitable app. But twenty years in, their marriage has deteriorated. Communication and intimacy have dwindled.

To reignite their connection, they take their kids, Kira and Tony, on a European vacation. Fun turns to terror when Kira is abducted one night in Barcelona, sparking a frantic weekend-long search. As a kidnapping spree unfolds, hidden dangers tied to espionage, encryption, and international ransom emerge.

Rebecca taps her FBI and NSA resources to locate her daughter, while Kira--revealing resilience and cunning--fights to escape. Over the course of a weekend, the couple confronts marriage strains, career secrets, and betrayal. In this globe-trotting spy thriller, suspense escalates as family dynamics and the dangerous world of espionage collide.

The Power Couple combines domestic espionage, spy fiction, and marriage thriller elements in a fast-paced plot full of shocking twists, while offering a nuanced look at the cost of ambition, parenthood, and trust within modern marriage.
