CIA vet Matthews hit the jackpot with this up-to-the-minute "sexpionage" thriller set in Putin's Russia. One-time ballerina Dominka Egorova has graduated from Sparrow School, where they teach girls how to seduce information out of enamored men. Actor Jeremy Bobb handles the narration, which includes various Russian dialects, with aplomb. A sequel, Palace of Treason, was published in June.
