Jeffery Deaver says, “Robert Levinson’s The Traitor in Us All offers up a delicious blend of the best in thriller writing: a keenly drawn hero, sharp plotting and dialogue, intelligent intrigue and a dash of the past—yesterday’s Cold War harrowingly emerging in the present. A great read.” Bob notes that the “turncoat entertainer” in the book is modeled on a historical figure (and probably someone Bob knew, since he knows everyone!). The art on the jacket cover is a detail from an oil painting by James Strombotne, an important American artist, whose work is in major museums and private collections worldwide. A limited number of reproductions of the cover, suitable for framing, signed by both artist and author, will be available to attendees at our event on Saturday, March 20, at 2:00 PM.

Publishers Weekly (12/14/2009):
Bloodthirsty killer Emil Grass abducts teen Tracy Collins from an Eden Highlands, Calif., pizza parlor, after shooting dead a high school friend of hers, at the start of this far-fetched thriller from Levinson ("In the Key of Death"). Jack Sothern, a world-weary journalist, recognizes a link between Tracys kidnapping and Tracys mother, Maggie, who may be privy to the secrets contained in the missing diary of the late Erich Mielke, the notorious head of East Germanys Ministry of State Security. Years earlier, Maggie was married to Dan Boone, a controversial American entertainer who became known as the turncoat rebel after he defected to the U.S.S.R. When Dan tried to return to the U.S. in 1987, he was apparently murdered in East Germany. Tracys harrowing experience as Emils hostage is the high point of a tale hampered by less than credible characters, notably the over-the-top villain and a mysterious femme fatale who manipulated Jack and broke his heart during the cold war era.
