THE NEAREST EXIT

In this fast-paced sequel to THE TOURIST, narrator David Pittu conveys the newest dangers faced by Milo Weaver. After being blackballed by the CIA, Weaver finds himself compelled to rejoin the elite network of top-secret black-ops agents called “tourists.” But first he’s required to prove his loyalty by killing an innocent teenage girl in Berlin. Pittu’s intense narration reflects Weaver’s conflict between his training and his emerging insecurities about his work and family. He has an estranged wife and a daughter not much younger than the girl he’s been tasked to abduct. Crisp and concentrated, Pittu unwinds the gripping action with energy. As Weaver searches for a traitor among the tourists, Pittu’s characterization of the brilliant, obese German espionage administrator adds impact.
