About the Book
"When their college-aged daughter is abducted on a European family vacation, Brian and Rebecca Unsworth--both U.S. intelligence staffers--race to find the kidnappers and keep their fragile marriage intact"--Book Synopsis
From #1 New York Times bestselling author and Edgar Award winner Alex Berenson, comes a supercharged espionage thriller about marriage and the dangerous secrets spouses keep. Rebecca and Brian Unsworth appear to have it all: a nice house in a Washington, DC, suburb; two well-behaved teenagers; and high-pressure government careers--Rebecca in FBI counterterrorism and Brian as an NSA coder. Brian even developed and sold a profitable app. But twenty years in, their marriage has deteriorated. Communication and intimacy have dwindled. To reignite their connection, they take their kids, Kira and Tony, on a European vacation. Fun turns to terror when Kira is abducted one night in Barcelona, sparking a frantic weekend-long search. As a kidnapping spree unfolds, hidden dangers tied to espionage, encryption, and international ransom emerge. Rebecca taps her FBI and NSA resources to locate her daughter, while Kira--revealing resilience and cunning--fights to escape. Over the course of a weekend, the couple confronts marriage strains, career secrets, and betrayal. In this globe-trotting spy thriller, suspense escalates as family dynamics and the dangerous world of espionage collide. The Power Couple combines domestic espionage, spy fiction, and marriage thriller elements in a fast-paced plot full of shocking twists, while offering a nuanced look at the cost of ambition, parenthood, and trust within modern marriage.About the Author

Great thriller about an atypical DC power couple
5 out of 5 stars
David Strom - 5 years ago
This is the story of a typical DC power couple raising two teenagers. Actually, not: he is a coder for the elite NSA hacking group, she is a top counterterror field agent for the FBI. On their anniversary trip to Europe, their 190year old daughter is kidnapped. Is it due to one of her parents' jobs? Or a random event? The novel unfolds both after the kidnapping, as well as fills in the relationship of the power couple when they first met and got married. You gain a lot of insight into their relationship and some of the troubled years that led up to the European vacation. There is this matter of mutual trust and affection that Berenson is so great at characterizing and getting in deeply while still maintaining interest. I don't want to give a few of his classic plot twists away but safe to say, this book will keep your interest right up to the last page. Highly recommended.
