Críticas:

"Taking Morgan brings the reader into the secret worlds of Gaza, Salafi terrorist groups, and the CIA and delivers edge of the seat drama in the process. Like David Ignatius or Graham Greene, Rose's fiction is rendered with the journalist's attention to exact detail. Once you get sucked in, it's hard to put down." Eli Lake, Bloomberg View "A smartly paced political thriller." Observer "Rose shuttles frantically but effectively between different worlds, ratcheting up the tension." Guardian "You can almost taste the dust of the streets, smell the explosions, and feel the fear that grips his female protagonist Morgan Cooper." Daily Mail

Reseña del editor:

"A smartly paced political thriller." Observer Morgan Cooper has always found it difficult to balance her home life mother of two young children and wife of a workaholic civil rights lawyer with her work life as an undercover CIA officer. When Morgan gets stressed, anxious, or scared, whether at home or in the field, she tends to talk to herself until she can clear her head. This habit, though, puts her life in danger during an assignment in the strife-torn Gaza Strip. After leaving home posing as a diplomat, Morgan meets her contact, Abdel Nasser, and the two begin monitoring the warring Fatah and Hamas factions. On the Strip, the betrayals and contradictions of her personal and working lives catch up with her. Soon, Morgan and Nasser are kidnapped by an extremist organization with links to al-Qaeda. When Adam, Morgan's husband, receives word of her kidnapping, he is assured by Morgan's bosses at the CIA that the organization is doing everything they can to find his wife. When days pass with no developments or new information, Adam decides to look for Morgan on his own. Inspired by actual events, Taking Morgan is a gripping novel of political intrigue and suspense. It is also the deeply affecting story of a modern couple struggling with their marriage, suddenly at risk of losing each other forever.
