WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT
THE TRAITOR IN US ALL

“Absolutely top-notch! Levinson’s The Traitor in Us All
offers up a delicious blend of the best in thriller writing:
a keenly drawn hero, sharp plotting and dialogue, intelligent
intrigue and a dash of the past—yesterday’s Cold War
harrowingly emerging in the present. A great read.”
—JEFFERY DEAVER
author of The Bone Collector and Roadside Crosses

Twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, two teenage girls are brutally murdered and a third kidnapped in Eden Highlands, a quiet, close-knit Southern California community north of San Diego. Jack Sothern, a discredited, down-on-his-luck freelance writer, connects the crimes to Dan Boone, the notorious American "Turncoat Rebel" who found fame and fortune behind the Iron Curtain, and to a long-missing diary kept by sociopath Erich Mielke, sadistic head of East Germany's Ministry of State Security, the dreaded Stasi, and. If found, the diary's mother lode of state secrets would bring millions in a bidding war among countries. Deals are struck, treachery substitutes for the truth and the body count rises in a non-stop series of revelations as Sothern races to locate the diary, save the kidnapped girl and redeem his honor

Jack Sothern is a journalist who used to have a career; now he’s a freelancer barely keeping his head above water. When two young girls are murdered and a third is abducted, Jack realizes that the crimes are related to the episode in his past that cost him his career. Desperate for redemption (both personal and professional), he risks his own life to save the kidnapped girl and to right an old wrong. This is quite a good crime novel, with a strong protagonist and a story that runs on character, not plot, twists. It’s a traditional mystery with a few unconventional elements—for example, the author introduces his main character by revealing him when another character opens a door—and, although the book appears to be a stand-alone, it’s a good bet that readers would enjoy seeing more of the likable Jack Sothern.

Says Jeffery Deaver about best-selling author Levinson’s latest: “Absolutely top-notch ... A delicious blend of the best in thriller writing.” No surprise here. Levinson has been stirring up delicious blends for many years. His series starring a Hollywood movie and music couple, Neil Gulliver and Stevie Marriner, reflects the author’s earlier career as an ace publicist. Such previous works as Hot Paint, The Elvis and Marilyn Affair, The James Dean Affair, and The John Lennon Affair are wonderfully bitchy reads
