Lyndsey Duncan has the fate of a country in her hands. She has a new asset to turn, in order to prevent the most calculated global invasion of our time but will her new blossoming friendship prevent her from doing the right thing? We won’t spoil the new thriller Red London for you this evening, but we will discuss what makes the hero so believable! 
Alma Katsu is the award-winning author of seven novels; Red London, her latest is a follow-up to the successful Red Widow where she unveiled Lyndsey Duncan, a CIA intelligence officer nicknamed “the human lie detector.” Katsu knows what she is writing about. She had a thirty-five-year career as a senior intelligence analyst for several US agencies, including the CIA and NSA, where she advised policymakers and military commanders on issues of national security. Her newest book is a nuanced, race-against-the-clock story that invokes today’s headlines. International Spy Museum Director of Adult Education Amanda Ohlke and Katsu will discuss how Lyndsey reflects the reality of women working in intelligence and how the thriller’s plot reflects both current affairs and famous notes from the past—like well-placed moles at the CIA. Listen in on the conversation with your favorite spring cocktail. Your hosts will be enjoying some bubbles.
