The Innocent Traitor

by Eric Rill

The Innocent Traitor, Eric Rill's riveting new thriller, plummets the reader into the secret corridors of international espionage and politics as it follows the lives of two immigrants who risk everything to reach America, unaware of the perils that await them. Janos Stern flees Budapest at the onset of the Hungarian revolution and is recruited by the CIA, where an ugly secret surfaces that threatens to destroy his career and compromise the security of the United States government. Karel Horak escapes from Czechoslovakia during the 1968 putsch and becomes a powerful and successful hotelier. But even power and success cannot protect him from the front lines of a coup that could destabilize Central America and send shockwaves through Washington. How the lives of Stern and Horak and their families come together is an intense life-and-death drama that will keep you turning the pages until you discover a truth you would never have thought possible. The Innocent Traitor is a novel you will remember long after reading it. In the style of Ken Follett, Vince Flynn, and Brad Thor."

Although I gave Rill's Pinnacle Of Deceit 5 stars, which it deserved, I enjoyed The Innocent Traitor even more as it took on a subject that is so true to life. The book flowed well and kept me up later than I wished. His style is to challenge to reader so if you're looking for a thriller to breeze through, this may not be for you.

Daring thriller!

[Brad Lucht · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not great, not bad. This is probably just me, but using dates as chapter titles didn't really help me follow the story.

I would give it 3 1/2 stars if the option were available.
