Books like The Midnight House by Alex Berenson
Former CIA operative John Wells receives a call that sends him back to Langley and into the shadows of a former interrogation team. After two members of the team are killed—first a former agent on the street, then an army veteran in his doorway—Wells is thrust into a hunt that leads to a clandestine base in Poland known as the Midnight House. Designed to interrogate high‑profile jihadis, the team’s brutal tactics and recent disbandment have left a trail of controversy and unresolved nightmares. Wells must uncover the truth behind the killings, confront the possibility of Islamist terror, and confront the moral questions surrounding the men who once operated under the Midnight House’s roof.
