Description
A mysterious First Lady. An intrepid journalist. And the secret that could destroy them both.
Paris, 1974. Lara Orlov and her family arrive from Moscow at the height of the Cold War, thanks to her father’s position as a diplomat. As a teenager in Paris, she falls deeply in love with Sasha, a fellow Russian expat.
Decades later White House correspondent Sofie Morse quits her job, tired of covering the dysfunction of Washington and the increasingly outrageous antics of President Henry Caine.
But when she gets a call from the office of First Lady Lara Caine, inviting her to come in for a private meeting, Sofie's curiosity is piqued. After decades of silence, Lara is finally ready to speak candidly about her past: about her father’s work for the KGB and about her ill-fated relationship with Sasha.
As Lara's incredible story unfolds Sofie suddenly finds herself in the middle of a game of cat and mouse that could have explosive ramifications.

'Fast-paced, smart, twisty… Our American Friend is both an engaging feminist thriller and a meditation on the ways history often surprises even the people who make it' -- Shelf Awareness
