Beloved Enemy: A Jack McClure Novel

Written by Eric Van Lustbader

Narrated by Peter Berkrot

In Eric Van Lustbader's stunning follow up to Father Night, Jack McClure faces a choice: help the woman he loves, or destroy her as the enemy she is.

Shortly after McClure leaves a late night meeting with Dennis Paull, the Secretary of Homeland Security, Paull is found—shot dead. The President is furious but equally frightened of a scandal, since Jack McClure is one of their own—an operative and Paull's friend. Who will protect the country if even McClure cannot be trusted?

With top officials in the CIA and FBI after him, McClure, still devastated over his friend's death, goes on the run. Someone framed him for Paull's murder, possibly to prevent him from accomplishing Paull's last request—a task vital to U.S. National Security. Someone in the intelligence community has gone rogue and is reporting to The Syrian, one of the most cruel, aggressive terrorists McClure and Paull have ever come across. McClure has been charged with securing the name of the mole, but when Paull's informant goes missing, McClure realizes his mission has only begun.

Jack may be setting off after a mole, but he knows that ultimately he will have to confront The Syrian. Which also means confronting The Syrian's lover, Annika Dementieva, the woman Jack once loved and lost.

On a quest to find the mole before cloaked agents around the world are exposed and murdered, Jack will soon find himself facing his own beloved enemy…

Reviews for Beloved Enemy

[rufusraider · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Beloved Enemy by Eric Van Lustbader is a very good book. The plot keeps you moving along and has enough twists and turns to keep you on your toes. Just as you think you have it figured out, you are proven wrong for awhile. After awhile the suspicion will be back on that character.The story is about a mole in the US government who is passing information to a dealer in secrets. He works for many terrorists and other governments. The secrets that are being dealt this time is the identify of a group of undercover agents the US is getting ready to send out and infiltrate various terrorist groups.The primary character (Jack McClure) has had several run-ins with this dealer. Jack McClure is framed for the murder of his boss and has to use his web of contacts to flee the US to search for the murderer.This book would have been easier to follow (especially the back story with a number of the characters) is I had read the earlier novels in the series. This does not detract from this being a very good book.
