Shadow Agent

When numbers don't lie, but people do-one analyst's discovery threatens to expose the greatest betrayal in FBI history.

FBI financial analyst Sarah Chen thought she was tracking routine Russian money laundering. Instead, she uncovered a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of American counterintelligence.

Someone inside the FBI is selling America's secrets.

The mathematical precision is undeniable: wire transfers from Russian energy companies arriving exactly 48 hours before major U.S. sanctions announcements. Shell companies established days before receiving massive payments. Financial patterns that could only exist with advance knowledge of classified government operations.

But when Sarah digs deeper, every lead points toward the one person she trusts most-Assistant Director Marcus Wellington, her mentor and the man who shaped her FBI career.

Wellington appears to be the perfect federal agent: distinguished veteran, respected leader, dedicated patriot. But beneath the surface, gambling debts and personal desperation have made him vulnerable to Russian intelligence recruitment. Now he's systematically betraying CIA assets, FBI operations, and national security interests in exchange for blood money that funds his double life.

As Sarah closes in on the truth, she becomes the target of sophisticated foreign intelligence operations designed to protect their most valuable American asset. With her daughter's safety threatened and her own FBI colleagues potentially compromised, Sarah must navigate a deadly maze of espionage, betrayal, and institutional corruption.

Her investigation will expose a Russian intelligence network that has penetrated the highest levels of American government-but survival means trusting no one, questioning everything, and risking the destruction of everyone she loves.

In a world where loyalty has a price and betrayal pays better than patriotism, one woman's analytical brilliance becomes America's last defense against systematic treason.

Shadow Agent: The Betrayal Within delivers heart-pounding suspense, authentic counterintelligence tradecraft, and the personal cost of protecting national security in an age of sophisticated foreign threats. Perfect for readers of John le Carr©, Jason Matthews, and contemporary spy thrillers that explore the moral complexities of modern intelligence work.

"A chilling reminder that America's greatest threats often come from within."
