Books like Your next breath by Iris Johansen
Catherine Ling—raised on the streets of Hong Kong and recruited by the CIA at fourteen—has spent her life mastering espionage while keeping attachments to a minimum. After her son Luke, abducted when he was two, is miraculously brought home nine years later, Catherine’s guarded world is turned upside down. As she attempts to rebuild a relationship with her son, a ruthless remnant of her past begins eliminating the people she trusts: a former prostitute, a close CIA ally, and an informant who aided Luke’s rescue. With each murder narrowing her circle, Catherine realizes that only by confronting the shadows of her own history can she stop the killer and protect those she loves. The novel blends suspense, family drama, and the relentless tension of espionage on a global stage.
