Books like Bloody Sunday by Ben Coes

Dewey Andreas—now on the brink of retirement—finds himself pulled back into the CIA’s orbit when North Korea, still developing delivery systems, partners with Iran to forge a new nuclear capability. With a weapon of unprecedented danger on the horizon, the agency’s only candidate with the necessary expertise is Dewey. In a cutting‑edge counter‑terrorism operation, agents plan to inject a designer poison into high‑ranking North Korean military leaders, trading the antidote for the dictatorship’s nuclear designs. When a small dose lands in Dewey’s own bloodstream, he must race across a hostile landscape to retrieve the antidote, neutralize the nuclear threat, and satisfy an enemy’s ambitions—all within a single day. The novel combines espionage, international politics, and high‑stakes action to deliver a relentless thriller that examines the moral and strategic dilemmas faced by intelligence operatives.
