The Tourist series
3 works, 3 primary works.
In this New York Times bestselling series of explosive suspense thrillers, Milo Weaver is a “tourist” for the CIA—an undercover agent with no home and no identity. Weaver tries to leave his life of secrets and lies behind, opting for a CIA desk job. But soon, the layers of intrigue, betrayal and manipulation pull him back in, and this reluctant spy has no choice but to return to the field and untangle the mysteries that only he can solve. Olen Steinhauer’s spy novels are full of dark secrets, webs of intrigue, and plenty of suspense and thrills.
