Blowback (Vanessa Pierson Novel)

Valerie Plame (Get this book)
Having told her real-life story in the memoir Fair Game (2007), former CIA agent Plame teams with Sarah Lovett to relate the adventures of undercover CIA operative Vanessa Pierson. Pierson is obsessed with tracking down the world's most dangerous terrorist, Bhoot, who is said to be stockpiling weapons of mass destruction in Iran. There are plenty of action scenes for Vanessa to fling herself into and, in this first installment in the series, a decently drawn, if not yet scare-inducing, villain. Making her spy fiction debut, Plame, with the seasoned Lovett's help, delivers a solid, entertaining thriller--Kirkus
