Reviews
"[A] crackling debut thriller." -- The New Yorker (Best Books of the Year) "A spy thriller that is engaging and utterly believable...cynical, fast moving and immensely readable." --NPR (Best Books of the Year) "Berry has all of le Carré's cynicism about Western intelligence services, and outsoars him in her ability to convincingly evoke a love affair against an espionage backdrop. This is a star in the making." -- The Telegraph "Sensually atmospheric, deftly constructed and written with flair, this is a debut that immediately elevates I.S. Berry." -- The Sunday Times "Berry crafts a literary version of Bahrain that is utterly sumptuous and delectable... From the absurdly disconnected expatriate world of the diplomatic community to the Shia slums and the waterfront, each of Berry's details pulls the reader further into the world she creates...exceptional." --Diplomatic Courier (Best Books of the Year) "[A] fascinating, complex story with multilayered and conflicted characters. . . In Berry's skilled hands, these characters are anything but clichés." --John Limbert, The Foreign Service Journal "Outstanding...The plot's many twists will captivate readers, and Berry's gorgeous prose is its own reward with echoes of le Carré and Graham Greene." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review), " The Peacock and the Sparrow is that rare thing: a genuine page turner that also has something to say. A sharp, knowing look at today''s CIA, with the moral complexities of the best spy fiction and a Persian Gulf setting so richly detailed and immediate you feel you could reach out and touch it. A remarkable debut." --Joseph Kanon, New York Times bestselling author of Istanbul Passage and The Berlin Exchange "A stunning debut about an aging CIA case officer at the end of a lackluster career during the Arab Spring in Bahrain. The Peacock and The Sparrow beautifully captures the ambiance of a teeming port city in the midst of unrest where people aren''t who they appear and no one can be trusted. Tense action that mixes with a beautifully rendered depiction of one man''s descent into despair make this spy novel an instant classic." --Paul Vidich, author of Beirut Station and The Matchmaker "Something very special in the crowded genre of spy fiction. Berry''s book is the most realistic espionage story I''ve read, heart-stopping without any contrived glamour." --Joseph Weisberg, creator of the TV series The Americans "Not since The Spy Who Came in from the Cold has there been such a riveting and thought-provoking story of international espionage. In the tradition of John le Carre and Graham Greene, former spy Berry has woven a twisted, richly evocative tale--one that plunges the reader into the depths of the Arab Spring and the blackest recesses of human nature. A breathless tour-de-force that smuggles the reader from the souks of Bahrain to the simmering streets of Phnom Penh, Berry''s debut delivers the perfect spy tale." --Ian Caldwell, New York Times bestselling author of The Fifth Gospel "Gritty, propulsive, dark, and twisty. The setting in Bahrain during the Arab Awakening is beautifully rendered; you can feel the swampy heat on the page." --David McCloskey, former CIA officer and author of Damascus Station and Moscow X "Berry has the authentic voice of an insider, someone who''s lived the life. Engrossing and compelling, The Peacock and the Sparrow picks up speed, keeping you turning pages right up to the finale." --Valerie Plame, former CIA officer and author of Fair Game "I.S. Berry absolutely nails the psyche of case officers in this examination of life in the clandestine service. From the pitch-perfect opening to the stunning twist at the end, The Peacock and the Sparrow is gorgeously written with a surefootedness rarely seen in a debut. Sure to be a new classic among spy novels." --Alma Katsu, former CIA officer and author of Red London "An astonishing debut. In the spirit and tradition of le Carré - but somehow with even greater verisimilitude - Berry perfectly captures the romance, the grit, the overarching sense of loss, and even the underlying dry comedy of a life devoted to undercover operations. CIA officer Shane Collins is the most realistic representation of a spy I''ve encountered in fiction." --Lindsay Moran, former CIA officer and bestselling author of Blowing My Cover "Bold, modern, and has the striking realism that only a former spy can bring to the page. Prose that is lush and haunting. A smart, sensational work of literature - put The Peacock and the Sparrow on your shelf next to all the espionage greats." --Dustin Thomason, bestselling author of 12.21, "The Peacock and the Sparrow is that rare thing: a genuine page turner that also has something to say. A sharp, knowing look at today's CIA, with the moral complexities of the best spy fiction and a Persian Gulf setting so richly detailed and immediate you feel you could reach out and touch it. A remarkable debut." --Joseph Kanon, New York Times bestselling author of Istanbul Passage and The Berlin Exchange, "Powerful... Provocative... I.S. Berry pulls no punches." --SpyTalk "A dark, unpredictable, twisty, and grim espionage thriller...a marvelous and intellectual debut of warring ideologies in a land where no one can be trusted, not even the 'good' guys." --Best Thriller Books "A contemporary spy story that's filled with twists, is rich with atmosphere and will get your adrenaline pumping." -- BookTrib "Berry is an author with a rich background and valuable knowledge that allows her to write engaging and compelling stories." -- The Strand Magazine "[A] compelling espionage debut... Berry is a former CIA officer and writes about the region and role of intelligence agencies with precision and insight." --CrimeReads

Synopsis
BEST FIRST NOVEL WINNER: Edgar Awards * International Thriller Writers Awards * Barry Awards * Macavity Awards A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker * NPR * The Diplomatic Courier During the Arab Spring, an American spy's final mission goes dangerously awry in this "crackling debut thriller" ( The New Yorker ) from a former CIA officer that Joseph Weisberg, creator of The Americans , calls "the most realistic espionage story I've read." Shane Collins, a world-weary CIA spy, is ready to come in from the cold. Stationed in Bahrain off the coast of Saudi Arabia for his final tour, he has little use for his mission--uncovering Iranian support for the insurgency against the monarchy. Then Collins meets Almaisa, a beautiful and enigmatic artist, and his eyes are opened to a side of Bahrain most expats never experience, to questions he never thought to ask. When his trusted informant inside the opposition becomes embroiled in a murder, Collins finds himself drawn deep into the conflict. His budding romance with Almaisa--and his loyalties--are upended; in an instant, he's caught in the crosswinds of a revolution. Drawing on all his skills as a spymaster, he sets out to learn the truth behind the Arab Spring, win Almaisa's love, and uncover the murky border where Bahrain's secrets end and America's begin., BEST FIRST NOVEL WINNER: Edgar Awards - International Thriller Writers Awards - Barry Awards A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker - NPR - The Diplomatic Courier During the Arab Spring, an American spy's final mission goes dangerously awry in this "crackling debut thriller" ( The New Yorker ) from a former CIA officer that Joseph Weisberg, creator of The Americans , calls "the most realistic espionage story I've read."
