Summary
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.
Reviews
Profile Avatar JMG Oct 2021

I have sincerely enjoyed Alex Berenson’s books and was very much looking forward to this new one. Unfortunately, I found it to be disappointing. While I traditionally enjoy having deep character backstories developed throughout the novel, I found this one to be a bit much. The novel revolves around one traumatic event to a member of the main characters family. It quickly becomes a complete backstory as we delve into all aspects of the families past, losing sight of the bigger picture and thus my attention and interest. I found it to be slow, difficult to follow and ultimately even more difficult to finish. He has other great published works and I would skip this one and focus on his others.
