To find a Russian mole in the White House, an FBI agent must question everything. . . and trust no one To save America from a catastrophic betrayal, an idealistic young FBI agent must stop a Russian mole in the White House in this exhilarating political thriller reminiscent of the early novels of John Grisham and David Baldacci. No one was more surprised than FBI Agent Peter Sutherland when he's tapped to work in the White House Situation Room. From his earliest days as a surveillance specialist, Peter has scrupulously done everything by the book, hoping his record will help him escape the taint of his past. When Peter was a boy, his father, a section chief in FBI counterintelligence, was suspected of selling secrets to the Russians-a catastrophic breach that had cost him his career, his reputation, and eventually his life. Peter knows intimately how one broken rule can cost lives. Nowhere is he more vigilant than in this room, the sanctum of America's secrets. Staffing the night action desk, his job is monitoring an emergency line for a call that has not-and might never-come. Until tonight. At 1:05 a.m. the phone rings. A terrified young woman named Rose tells Peter that her aunt and uncle have just been murdered and that the killer is still in the house with her. Before their deaths, they gave her this phone number with urgent instructions: "Tell them OSPREY was right. It's happening. . . " The call thrusts Peter into the heart of a conspiracy years in the making, involving a Russian mole at the highest levels of the government. Anyone in the White House could be the traitor. Anyone could be corrupted. To save the nation, Peter must take the rules into his own hands and do the right thing, no matter the cost. He plunges into a desperate hunt for the traitor-a treacherous odyssey that pits him and Rose against some of Russia's most skilled and ruthless operatives and the full force of the FBI itself. Peter knows that the wider a secret is broadcast, the more dangerous it gets for the people at the center. With the fate of the country on the line, he and Rose must evade seasoned assassins and maneuver past jolting betrayals to find the shocking truth-and stop the threat from inside before it's too late.… (mais)

The Night Agent is a suspenseful political thriller with non-stop action. Peter Sutherland is a new agent working in the White House, but his career with the FBI has been slow since his father, a convicted Russian spy, left a cloud of distrust over his son. One night, Peter's loyalty to his country is put to the ultimate test when he receives a distressed call for help over the hotline. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game of deadly betrayal and murder. I was a little disappointed at the end but still enjoyed this book immensely. ( )

I'm not sure why I didn't enjoy this more: it moved quickly and there was no gory torture. I assume the plot was coherent, but I started skimming at too early a point to be sure. The ending seemed a little unlikely to me, and I found the hero and heroine likeable, but not sufficiently deeply characterized for me to be fully drawn in. ( )

Peter and Rose are on the run from traitors in the US government. Peter’s dad was a Russian Agent and Peter is living that down. The ending is open so there may be a sequel. This would be a good beach read ( )

Good but not great domestic/Russian espionage/political thriller novel. ( )

"The Night Agent" is about Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent tasked with sitting near the Situation Room in the White House and manning a phone. Only people who are in real trouble call that phone, and Peter is simply to verify they're legitimate, then pass them off to his superiors.

The phone rarely rings, but on this one occasion, a young woman calls and is very distraught. Peter's not supposed to converse with the callers, but for this call, he does so, finding out her aunt and uncle have just been killed. This begins a series of events in which Peter ignores the orders of his superiors and bends, then breaks, the rules—something he swore he'd never do. This is because Peter's father, also an FBI agent, died under a cloud of suspicion that he was spying for Russia.

This is a decent book. The protagonists' characterization was good; the antagonists, pretty cookie-cutter. There were a few nice twists and turns. I'd read more of Matthew Quirk's books. ( )
