The Tourist is an espionage novel written by Olen Steinhauer in 2009, that was featured on The New York Times' list of best sellers.
Not sure why it took me so long to come across [a:Olen Steinhauer|327983|Olen Steinhauer|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1424783704p2/327983.jpg]. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series, and everything else he's written.
A perfectly serviceable spy thriller, although I had a hard time keeping up with the names. Probably would be better read in a shorter time.
Fast paced page turner of a spy/thriller that's absolutely worth reading. Not sure if this is what the apparently-horrible-but-i-haven't-seen-it Depp/Jolie movie is based on, but just pretend it isn't if it is.
The 'tourist' is a CIA operative who has retired from the field only to be swept into it again to defend himself. I'm afraid I like the author's East European series far better, but I'm glad for his success with a more mainstream novel.
